- Represent the executive perspective to the EUC, Productivity & Collaboration and Experience Platform teams, so that recurring issues are fixed at source and not repeatedly worked around.
- Maintain the relationship with executive assistants and leadership offices, who are frequently the first point of contact when something goes wrong.
- Measure and report on executive experience, using both service data and direct feedback, and act on what it shows.
- Handle executive technology matters with the discretion the role requires, including where issues touch confidential material.
