Hi K***y, Great questions,here’s some additional color: 1. Budget Flexibility - You’ll own a ~$900K program budget (content development, speaker fees, venues/platforms, evaluation tools). Within that envelope, you have the flexibility to shift up to roughly 15,20% between “content” and “marketing‐adjacent” line items each quarter, as long as you present a clear business case (e.g., increasing speaker fees to secure a high-impact facilitator or reallocating funds toward targeted digital ads). The separate $150K marketing budget also offers room to reallocate across channels (email, social, PR) based on real-time performance. We’ve designed this to empower you to optimize spend where it drives the biggest engagement lift. 2. Team Profiles • Program Manager (Mid-Senior Level): , 7,10 years managing large-scale leadership or wellbeing programs , Strong vendor and logistics background (venues, tech platforms, travel) , Proven ability to juggle multi-market rollouts and stakeholder alignment , PMP or similar certification a plus; comfortable managing $500K+ event budgets • Learning Designer (Senior Specialist): , 5,7 years in instructional design, preferably within leadership development or wellbeing , Expertise in adult-learning frameworks, e-learning tools (Articulate, Captivate) , Experience localizing content for Europe/APAC audiences and embedding positive psychology/mindfulness modules , Master’s or certificate in instructional design, L&D, or a related field Both roles will report directly to you and are empowered to be creative partners in curriculum innovation and market activation. I hope this helps,and I look forward to diving deeper on Thursday at 2:30pm ET. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like in advance! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Budget autonomy - You have full authority to reallocate up to 15,20% of your $900K program budget mid-quarter without needing additional sign-off. For any shifts beyond that threshold, or if you want to move funds between the program and the separate $150K marketing pot, you’d simply share a brief business case with our Finance Business Partner and M***a C***n (Head of People & Culture) for quick approval. This approach gives you real-time flexibility while ensuring we stay aligned on investment priorities. 2.

Hi K***y, Perfect,E***a and C***s will join us on Thursday’s 2:30 PM ET call so you can hear firsthand how they work together. On their approach to mid-sprint conflicts: they use an impact-vs-feasibility framework. When participant feedback clashes with vendor constraints, they first assess the change’s potential to boost learning outcomes against the vendor’s capacity to deliver. High-impact, low-disruption tweaks get implemented immediately; larger requests are either renegotiated for phased delivery or moved into the next sprint. This way, they preserve program quality while honoring vendor agreements. Looking forward to introducing them on Thursday! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like beforehand. Best, J***e
