This role partners across multiple organizations across GRS, as well as cross-functional GRS partners, to understand broad organizational needs and ensure alignment while actively championing the overall strategic direction of the Claims Coop. Acting as lead strategist for the Coop requires a dynamic and proactive leader aligned with the Coop steering committee to support our shared objectives across GRS Claims.

• Maintain clear and consistent communication channels among Coop members and leadership, preparing regular updates to CCOs & steering committee members.
