• Continue to Build the Playbook: Continuously refine and document the AOP Playbook at Aledade, codifying best practices to make each planning cycle more efficient and predictable than the last.
• QBR Preparation: Partner with department Ops Leads to prepare high-quality materials and narratives for Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), ensuring a data-driven story of progress and challenges.

Cross-Functional Orchestration & Alignment:

• Stakeholder Management: Build deep, trust-based relationships across the organization to facilitate honest discussions regarding progress, resource gaps, and cross-departmental dependencies.
• Early Alignment Integration: Act as the “glue” between departments, ensuring that initiatives have early and consistent alignment with Analytics, Field, and Product stakeholders.
• Cross-Functional Bridge: Serve as the central point of contact to ensure that changes in one department’s roadmap are communicated and reconciled with the broader AOP.

Minimum Qualifications:
