You will provide support for owners by removing obstacles and improving financial, operational, and safety outcomes across the network. You’ll also collaborate with a cross-functional team of internal stakeholders including, but not limited to, station operations managers, program managers, compliance, legal, and finance. The successful Candidate will help analyze problems, action insights, deliver recommendations, and drive change both internally and externally.
