As part of our Strategic Programs team, you will own the rollout program for our most strategic accounts, bringing structure, momentum, and follow-through to some of our highest-stakes launches. It sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution, and is built for someone who leads programs, drives change, and moves ambitious initiatives from plan to measurable outcome.

You will report into our Strategic Programs Lead and coordinate closely across Legal Engineering, Engagement, and Customer Delivery to turn ambitious rollouts into reality.
