• Advise internal stakeholders across the partnership lifecycle
• Analyze the performance of partnerships to extract actionable insights (e.g., best practices, areas of improvement) 
• Structure and lead multi-disciplinary projects, collaborating closely with Disney and/or third-party teams
• Support strategic planning processes, including annual planning, long-range planning, organization planning and design, and business reviews
