  • Provide performance insights to leadership and recommend improvements or corrective actions based on trends, gaps, and emerging risks.

Regulatory Change & Program Readiness

  • Coordinate updates to bylaws, policies, and procedures arising from regulatory changes, audits, or program needs.
  • Provide strategic guidance on policy interpretation and support internal teams in consistent, principled application of policy requirements.
  • Oversight Fees Management

  • Lead the annual cycle to develop ARMA’s oversight fees, in collaboration with Finance and other internal stakeholders.
  • Ensure oversight fees are created following approved methodologies, regulatory requirements, and organizational principles.
  • Prepare documentation, analysis, and recommendations for leadership and the Board regarding fee design and changes.
  • Leadership

  • Lead and develop a high-performing team that supports EPR program planning, strategy, analytics, and policy management.
  • Model ARMA’s values and foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, respect, and growth.
  • Provide coaching, mentorship, and direction to support employee growth and operational excellence.
  • Other Duties
