- Anticipate and resolve operational issues to elevate customer success and internal efficiency.
• Special Projects
- Lead high-impact, ambiguous projects with no clear owner, spanning Marketing, Sales, and Fundraising.
- Run point on partnerships, research, and external opportunities as delegated by the CEO.
