The Role
The Chief of Staff (CoS) for the SVP Enterprise Strategy and Transformation at Lumen is a strategic role to enable the execution of its transformation and to help shape strategic initiatives through thought leadership, communication, and flexibility. This role is stepping-stone into more senior roles at Lumen for strategic or P&L ownership roles.
Thought partnership to the Operations leadership team by providing KPIs that directly support the organization’s strategic mission and interpreting the data to help shape strategic initiatives. Since the CoS will also communicate and delegate initiatives to teams, he will support senior leaders’ key decisions by ensuring plans are feasible and can be implemented accordingly throughout the rest of the organization. This individual will also help the SVP identify the areas where they must direct their focus and help streamline activities.
Communication to ensure strategic initiatives don’t become diluted the further they get from Operations leadership. It’s the strategic chief of staff’s responsibility to keep these initiatives on track by adequately communicating the plan and outcome to the entire organization.
Flexibility to tackle varying types of responsibility and challenges depending on the constantly evolving of Lumen transformation journey and ensuring execution of its priorities.
