• Oversee DTP, graphics, and visual standards to ensure consistent, high quality production.
• Use AI tools and prompt engineering best practices to accelerate content development, refine narratives, perform quality reviews, and support strategy alignment
• Coordinate pricing activities (BOE inputs, assumptions, schedule management; no pricing execution required).
• Support orals preparation, coaching, and visual development.
• Lead final production, compliant submission, and EN/DR response cycles

Requirements
