• Coordinate cross-functional projects and ensure that community initiatives support broader company goals.

• Bring insights from alumni and community members back into the organization to inform program development, marketing, and career development initiatives.

• Build repeatable processes and scalable formats that allow the community to grow sustainably.

5. Measure impact and continuously improve
