Conduct structured 1:1s, set SMART goals, and maintain a consistent coaching cadence across the team.
Identify skill gaps, support career growth, and make staffing and leveling recommendations to the Senior Director.
Lead hiring for open PM team roles: define the candidate profile, partner with recruiting, and make final hiring decisions.
Build a team culture grounded in accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement — where feedback flows both directions and people grow.
Maintain active visibility into all state implementation portfolios — Illinois, Arizona, Connecticut, Indiana, Rhode Island, and new clients as they onboard.
Own portfolio-level risk management: identify cross-project risks early, ensure mitigation is in motion, and escalate to the Senior Director when warranted.
Review and approve project plans, milestone commitments, and SOW deliverables before they go to clients or leadership.

Strong knowledge of project and program management methodologies (PMBOK, PRINCE2, SAFe, or hybrid).
Enthusiasm for AI tools and a track record of embedding technology into daily workflows to improve output quality or efficiency.

Ability to work independently while remaining a reliable, collaborative member of a broader team.
Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment; adaptable and professionally resilient.
