Own the end-to-end delivery of 2–3 strategic programs spanning engineering, product, and cross-functional teams — from scoping through to measurable outcomes.
Build and maintain trust with senior engineering and product leaders by providing reliable, well-structured program oversight that surfaces the right information at the right time.
Drive clarity in ambiguous situations — breaking down complex, multi-team initiatives into structured plans with clear ownership, milestones, and success criteria.
Identify risks early, drive decisions to closure, and escalate the right things to the right people without over-engineering the process.
Lead cross-functional alignment across engineering, product, design, data, and security
Build program dashboards and reporting cadences that give leadership a clear, honest picture of portfolio health without creating unnecessary overhead for delivery teams.
Shape and maintain a program governance model that scales — decision rights, escalation paths, steering cadences — tailored to program complexity rather than one-size-fits-all.
Contribute to the broader TPM community by developing reusable patterns, playbooks, and frameworks that raise the floor for program delivery across the org.
