- Accelerate alignment and decisions: Bring together cross-functional stakeholders, frame trade-offs, and move teams from discussion to decision.
- Manage complexity at scale: Identify and coordinate dependencies, proactively surface risks, and drive mitigation strategies.
- Strengthen execution discipline: Establish governance, tracking, and accountability mechanisms that bring transparency to progress and outcomes.
- Enable clarity through communication: Synthesize complex information into clear, concise narratives that align stakeholders and support decisions.
- Leverage AI to enhance impact: Use AI and modern tools to streamline workflows, generate insights, and improve speed, quality, and effectiveness of day-to-day work.
- Influence across teams: Build strong relationships and align leaders through data-driven storytelling, structured problem-solving, and effective facilitation.
- Engage senior leadership: Provide sharp, outcome-focused updates and insights that inform direction, unblock decisions, and shape results.
Essential Skills - 7 or more years of experience with strategic planning, product coordination or product management.
- Strong knowledge of digital programs at an enterprise level
- Experience working within large, complex organizational environments
- Strong proficiency with Agile tools, including Jira, Confluence, Digital.ai, or comparable technologies
