Approach and Work style of the role - 

It is important to be proactive and initiate processes in time due to the sometimes very short timelines from external requests (e.g. other Cx areas); this requires an excellent network inside the CTOO organization as well as within LUPIN. Due to very uneven workload, it is vital to balance short terms peaks, yet at the same time keeping control over more mid-term oriented. Very close collaboration with the Office Secretary to the Cx suit is needed to be on top of the 'business calendar' because this to a large extent also triggers the need for special (e.g. content) support to the CTOO.
