You will advise and coordinate with internal working groups on all quarterly earnings items, ensuring that all communications are accurate and compliant. Additionally, you will lead the planning for the annual meeting of stockholders, preparing and managing board and committee meeting materials in partnership with senior leadership. Your role will also involve developing and overseeing corporate governance functions, ensuring that the company adheres to best practices in governance.
