• Align Marketing and Training with on-site operations and goals by ensuring messaging, brand positioning, system usage, and training curriculum are consistent across property teams.
• Provide regular reporting to the EVP of Operations on departmental performance, cross-functional initiatives, and progress toward 18-month structural and cultural outcomes.
