Track and report key metrics around project delivery, client satisfaction, profitability, and team performance.
Hold team members accountable through task tracking, follow-through, and ClickUp visibility.
Proactively surface risks or breakdowns, and solve them before they escalate—ideally before the CEO notices.
Use data and automation tools to improve operations, reduce manual work, and drive better decisions.
Recruit, manage, and support team members, bringing in experts when needed and helping others succeed in their roles.
