• Track progress on knowledge transfer milestones, manage risks, and provide executive-level reporting
• Lead development of the LA28 Observer Program for future OCOGs: define learning objectives, coordinate workshops and venue visits, facilitate operational briefings, and guide post-Games knowledge sessions
• Direct team members supporting Observer Program execution and stakeholder engagement
• Serve as strategic partner to VP on functional priorities, resource allocation, and long-term planning
• Lead cross-functional working groups integrating Observer Program and knowledge transfer initiatives

• Proven ability to develop strategy and deliver new programs and processes from concept to execution
• Experience managing complex, cross-functional initiatives with senior leaders and evolving requirements
• Demonstrated skill translating strategic objectives into scalable programs and measurable outcomes
• Professionalism and discretion with sensitive information
