• Serve as a primary author and coordinator for monthly, quarterly, and ad hoc presentations delivered by the President of AEP Transmission.
• Develop Board-level materials, executive briefings, conference presentations, strategic updates, and other high-profile communications.
• Convert large volumes of complex technical, operational, financial, and strategic information into compelling narratives that are easily understood by diverse audiences.

• Drive special projects and executive requests that support the long-term success of the Transmission organization.

• Direct exposure to the President of AEP Transmission and the Transmission Leadership Team.
• Opportunity to influence discussions presented to the AEP Board of Directors.
• Visibility into virtually every aspect of the Transmission business, including strategy, operations, finance, workforce planning, and enterprise initiatives.
• A unique platform for accelerating professional growth through direct interaction with senior executive leaders.
• Opportunity to build relationships across multiple businesses and corporate functions throughout AEP.
• Broad executive exposure that can serve as a launching point for future leadership opportunities.
