Manager, Rapid Response Team

Overview

We are building a high-impact Rapid Response Team within our Transformation Office to lead and track urgent, high-priority initiatives across the enterprise. This role acts as a hands-on internal problem-solver, partnering with senior leaders, pillar teams, and functional stakeholders to ensure initiatives are well-defined, rigorously tracked, and progressing toward measurable outcomes.

As a Manager within the Rapid Response Team, you will be rapidly deployed across the organization to address complex business challenges, drive strategic initiatives, and accelerate change across functions. This position is also responsible for driving day-to-day transformation mechanics—initiative tracking, value sizing, issue resolution, and executive-ready insights.

This role is ideal for a high-performing professional who thrives in ambiguity, brings strong analytical discipline, and is comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-visibility environments.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and operate transformation tracking tools (e.g., Shibumi), including data quality, logic checks, and ongoing updates.
• Track initiative progress against plan; identify risks, slippage, and gaps to target and escalate issues proactively
• Ensure savings and value initiatives are translated cleanly and credibly into financial outcomes, in close partnership with Finance and People & Culture.
• Support preparation of executive- and sponsor-level materials, including SteerCo content, value narratives, and decision-ready insights
• Partner with Super Pillar teams (e.g., Sales, G&A, Technology, Product & Studios, Manufacturing, Field services/supply chain) to pressure-test assumptions, clarify dependencies, and support execution.
