Have you been a consultant? If you have, they will push you in there but you should figure out everything fairly quickly since you're already used to it

I came in as an experienced manager and found it very difficult. I would say lean on others, the provided trainings and ask people questions. I was always afraid of looking stupid and didn’t ask enough questions at the beginning. Learn how to “manage up”, that took me a long time.
