A day in the life
In the morning you will check in with the horizon scanning team to understand what new legislations are coming up. Afterwards you have a meeting with tax planning and legal colleagues to get their view on requirements for the new legislation.

You spend the rest of the morning drafting the corner stones of the strategy for the legislation and in the afternoon review it with peers and your managers to understand where it can be further improved. In the afternoon you talk to a seller engagement associate to hear what issues they usually have with similar legislations and revise your engagement strategy accordingly including how many people will be needed and what business impact it will have.

Lastly you sync with a colleague on program governance, write down potential risk and plan for an auditing process of the new legislation.
