Demonstrated success managing cross-functional delivery with multiple workstreams and vendor/onshore/offshore teams.

Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to produce concise, leadership-ready updates.
Experience with Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid delivery methods; comfort operating in ambiguity and evolving priorities.
