• Through leadership, coaching, and mentorship, contribute to the development of a team that is engaged and interested in its work, develops creative solutions, and shows enthusiasm when undertaking new challenges.
• Actively contribute to strategic priorities and initiatives by challenging the status quo, identifying improvement opportunities, and meeting established project timelines.
