• Represent international market needs and best practice in global discussions, ensuring two‑way feedback between markets and Miami.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders during transition periods to define practical hand‑offs, ownership boundaries and sustainable operating models.
• Deliver training directly in markets where there is no local market resource or where central delivery is required to support business priorities.
• Lead strategic rollouts, launch support and capability recovery initiatives where tighter control or consistency is needed.
• Use remote‑first and scalable delivery approaches wherever possible, while remaining flexible to support live sessions across multiple time zones.
• Pilot new formats, tools and delivery methods before broader market scale‑up.
• Track adoption, quality and impact to ensure delivery remains effective and aligned to strategic intent.
