- Support strategic initiatives, providing insights to senior leadership.
- Analyze competitor and carrier performance (e.g., earnings, trends, KPIs).
- Lead cross-functional meetings, workshops, and strategic discussions.
- Manage third-party partner relationships for business intelligence support.
- Identify process gaps and implement continuous improvements.
