What does "in the weeks and months ahead" mean?

This is a part of test example for TOEIC test.
I'm wondering the duration of this sentence:
"in the weeks and months ahead" in "I am delighted that you have joined our marketing team, and I look forward to working with you in the weeks and months ahead."

How can I understand "in the weeks and months ahead"?
It will last for "weeks and months"?
Or, it will start "in weeks and months"?
Or, its duration is "weeks and months"?
Could you tell me, please?

The phrase may suggest that the work of the marketing team will last for weeks and months, but not for years. But sometimes the phrase is just used as meaningless business jargon. You could really just say eg I look forward to working with you.
