Day to Day
There's no typical day. I set to dos at the start of each week which highlights goals and tasks. Most of the projects I work on are long term and so I decide which team member will help me move it forward and when it should be completed. I also spend time thinking through key items that the business leadership would want to be made aware of based on the data collected and tracked for the business.
