Communicate the company’s strategic direction effectively, ensuring organization-wide buy-in and cohesive efforts. Enhance Operational Efficiency: Continuously refine and optimize existing processes to enhance efficiency and productivity across the organization. Design and implement organizational procedures to streamline operations and achieve measurable results. Serve as a Communication Hub: Act as a trusted intermediary between the CEO and internal/external stakeholders, ensuring clarity, alignment, and follow-through. Facilitate collaboration among executives, teams, and stakeholders to drive seamless execution of goals. Lead and Oversee Projects: Manage critical projects and initiatives from inception to execution, ensuring timelines, resources, and deliverables are effectively managed. Track project performance, identify risks, and implement corrective measures to stay on course.

Experience: 8-14 years of experience in roles emphasizing execution and program management in global organizations. Exposure to the manufacturing industry or a global MNC is highly preferred.
