About The Job
Run the operating rhythm
Own and continuously improve the business rhythm for the GM and the organization — leadership team syncs, all-team meetings, monthly and quarterly business reviews, planning reviews, organizational communications, and Online Grocery segments of company-wide all-hands. Manage the operating cadence for the GM — prioritizing and delegating workstreams, ensuring the right things get the right attention at the right time. Improve how the organization decides: clarify decision rights and the questions that matter, build the frameworks and pre-reads that bring options into focus, and remove the friction that slows good calls. Once decisions are made, capture and sharpen them, ensure they're communicated to the right stakeholders, and close the loop on execution — keeping leadership priorities, decisions, and commitments visible and on track (R&D; execution itself is owned by TPM). Shape and run the substance of the leadership team offsites: objectives, agenda, pre-reads, the hard discussions, decisions, and follow-through (logistics and events are handled separately).

Plan executive communication
Drive the calendar, planning, and content for upward communication and alignment with the C-suite and the board on Online Grocery priorities. Support the GM in preparing content for speaking engagements (working with our comms team).

Partner with the GM and HR to address relationship and culture dynamics across the team and create a high-trust, high-performance leadership team culture.

Drive priority programs
Help the GM kick off and drive annual and long-range planning for Online Grocery. Take ambiguous new efforts for the GM from unclear to fully underway — creating clarity and a plan, identifying DRIs, setting up the decisions that need to be made, aligning stakeholders, and developing the right operating rhythm to track progress. Proactively identify and take ownership of emerging opportunities and risks before they become blockers.
