Remote
Responsibilities
- Own and operate a single, unified FSO Front Door end to end: the one intake point for all incoming requests, initiative submissions, and cross-functional asks across FSO
- Drive alignment across FSO's sub-functions to consolidate separate, fragmented intake processes into the unified Front Door, building trust and demonstrating value, since this work is driven through influence rather than formal authority
- Triage and qualify every inbound submission, flag duplicates and gaps, and package qualified, well scoped submissions for hand-off to the Planning function, serving as the primary feed into planning without owning prioritization or the roadmap
- Define and maintain intake standards, SLAs, and qualification criteria so the Front Door consistently produces clean, decision ready submissions rather than raw, unscoped requests
- Own FSO's outbound submission process into other front doors across the business: submit, track, and follow through on FSO's asks from request through resolution
- Serve as FSO's primary point of contact and relationship owner with the external teams FSO regularly depends on, representing FSO's interests and maintaining those relationships over time, not just the paperwork
- Track status and commitments on every outbound ask, escalate stalled requests, and maintain a clear, current view for FSO leadership of what has been asked, of whom, and where it stands
- Build and maintain reporting on intake volume, request types, turnaround time, and bottlenecks across the unified Front Door, giving leadership pattern level visibility into demand on FSO
- Continuously improve the Front Door operating model itself: identify friction points in how work enters and exits FSO, and evolve the process as FSO's footprint and cross-functional surface area grows
