  2. Act as the COO’s strategic thought partner: shape agenda priorities, pre-read materials, and follow-through on decisions and action items so nothing falls through the cracks
  3. Build the connective tissue between the COO and functional leaders — maintain visibility into work stream progress, surface blockers early, and drive cross-functional accountability
  4. Drive the company’s performance dashboard — interpret and curate the metrics and narrative that give leadership a clear, honest read on the business each week and month
  5. Own coordination and end-to-end execution for the COO's highest-priority strategic initiatives, track milestones, hold teams accountable, and drive outcomes across Customer Support, People, and Finance
