• Own the operating rhythm of the business, including leadership meetings and quarterly business reviews – setting agendas, driving decisions, and tracking follow-through.
• Serve as a key partner to sales and client coverage teams in delivering a seamless onboarding experience, driving operational workstreams from mandate award through account set-up, funding, and first reporting cycle.
• Build a repeatable onboarding framework covering documentation, KYC and AML, account and custody set-up, systems and data configuration, guideline coding, and reporting build-out.
• Coordinate onboarding workstreams across Legal, Operations, Technology, Portfolio Management, and external parties.
• Establish onboarding timelines and service standards, tracking progress and resolving bottlenecks.
• Partner with sales and client coverage teams to drive the ongoing client service model, including recurring reporting cycles, ad hoc client requests, and periodic mandate reviews.

• Maintain the underlying content library used in client-facing materials, including track record, performance, and platform data.
• Support the sales function on new client pursuits, including responses to requests for proposal, due diligence questionnaires, and prospective client information requests.
• Assess the operational feasibility of prospective mandates – structuring, data, reporting, and servicing requirements – and surface implications before terms are committed.
• Own the cadence, content, and production of management updates from BOIS to Blue Owl's Co-CEOs, Executive Committee, and senior leadership.
• Prepare Executive Committee and senior management materials covering BOIS performance, growth, capital deployment, and progress against strategic priorities.
• Develop a consistent reporting framework for the business so that executive updates draw on the same data and metrics used to run it day to day.
• Support the CEO of Insurance Solutions in preparing for firmwide leadership forums, earnings-related discussions, and other senior stakeholder engagements.
• Translate business performance into clear, decision-oriented analysis and recommendations for a C-suite audience.
• Serve as the primary point of connectivity between BOIS and Blue Owl's corporate teams, ensuring the business is well served by firmwide functions and consistent with firm standards.
• Partner with Accounting and Finance on budgeting, expense management, forecasting, revenue attribution, fee calculation and billing, profitability analysis, and fund and account-level accounting support.
