Cross-Functional & Cross-Regional Partnership

• Work closely with the Global Deals team to align analysis, storyline, and deal materials; support development and validation of executive‑level materials. May include partnering with regional finance and pricing teams when market‑level incentives are required; ensure appropriate SMEs are engaged and local inputs are incorporated into the overall deal economics
• Actively contribute to deal structuring discussions and working teams, helping reconcile financial, strategic, and operational perspectives across stakeholders and regions
