• Calendar and comms: gatekeeping, scheduling, and representing the CPO professionally
• Confidential coordination: handle highly sensitive people and business matters
• Project management: track deliverables, streamline workflows, and drive outcomes
• Travel and logistics: coordinate itineraries and weekend/on-call support when needed
• Operational excellence: implement systems and bring order to chaos
• Stakeholder liaison: build strong relationships across the business
