This role serves as the operational backbone of the enterprise, providing consistent administrative oversight and risk management, and partnering closely with the CEO, CFO, COO, and CHRO to bring structure, consistency, and execution rigor to a fast-moving organization.

Drive cross‑functional alignment across manufacturing, engineering, HR, finance, and commercial teams
Lead enterprise‑wide operational improvement initiatives
Support CEO‑level execution, cadence, and organizational effectiveness
