• Create dashboards, visualizations and executive briefs that summarize scenarios, sensitivities, and recommended options for site leaders and senior executives.

• Facilitate cross‑functional workshops to gather inputs, surface constraints, and align stakeholders on scenarios and recommended actions.

• Partner with operations, supply chain, program management, finance and engineering to integrate scenario outputs into planning, risk mitigation, and capital decision processes.
