• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs, and drive resolution

Ensure Alignment Between Strategy and Execution

• Continuously validate that execution aligns with program objectives, not just task completion
• Provide clarity and direction when priorities shift or ambiguity arises

Lead Execution with Structure and Rigor

• Establish and maintain clear plans, timelines, and delivery milestones

• Identify and remove blockers to maintain delivery momentum

Facilitate Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Ensure alignment on priorities, timelines, and tradeoffs
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences

Continuously Improve Delivery Practices

• Identify gaps in planning, execution, and communication, and implement improvements
• Strengthen team operating rhythms, including planning cycles, retrospectives, and status reporting
• Support teams in becoming more predictable, efficient, and outcome-focused

Technical Environment

• Comfortable working with engineering teams and understanding technical concepts such as APIs, system architecture, and dependencies
• Able to translate technical complexity into clear execution plans
• Collaborative partner to engineering teams, respecting and supporting technical decision-making

Qualifications

• Strong project management fundamentals, including planning, prioritization, risk management, and execution
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex initiatives across multiple teams
• Experience working in software or technical environments alongside engineering teams
• Solid understanding of Agile delivery practices and team operating rhythms
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and introduce structure where needed
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Proven ability to proactively identify and resolve delivery risks
• 3-7+ years of experience in project or program management roles, with ownership of complex initiatives

Preferred Qualifications
