Role Summary

The Director, Strategic Programs & Organizational Engagement is a high-impact leadership role responsible for advancing the GSCS agenda through enterprise-critical programs, executive communications, and organization-wide engagement. Partnering closely with the Head of GSCS and the GSCS Leadership Team, this role translates strategy into clear priorities, compelling narratives, and coordinated actions that strengthen alignment, accelerate execution, and reinforce the value of GSCS across the enterprise.
