• Establish and maintain governance and performance tools (dashboards, key performance indicators, editorial calendars, project tracking) to ensure visibility and execution discipline.
• Monitor, analyze, and support the evaluation of communications and marketing performance, aligned with defined objectives and metrics.
• Mobilize and coordinate centres of expertise around regional priorities, fostering alignment and seamless execution in a matrix environment.

• Build trusted relationships with business units and market leaders to anticipate issues and support the implementation of relevant initiatives.
• Contribute, as needed, to the development or coordination of high-value strategic content and tools.
