The V Teamer in this role will use their deep understanding of what our external partners care about to elevate our executives (and our legacy story) and drive effective, breakthrough thought leadership across our core priorities from customer-first products and programs and network innovation to AI and digital inclusion.

• Strong critical thinking skills to independently drive projects from concept through to strategy and execution with minimal supervision.

• Previous exposure working with senior leaders and a strong understanding of executive protocols with an ability to maintain poise and professionalism.
