Problem

Scenario

In fast-moving account management roles, there are times when an important customer issue or business need does not clearly belong to your job scope, but still needs someone to take ownership.

Question

Describe a situation where you took on a task that was clearly outside your job description. How did you decide to step in, align the right stakeholders, prioritize the work against your core responsibilities, and communicate progress through to completion?
