• Coordinate cross-functional workstreams across business, technology, cloud and architecture, security, governance, legal, procurement, finance, operations, and external partners
• Maintain integrated plans, milestones, decisions, dependencies, risks, and ownership; identify blockers early and drive them to resolution
• Manage participant onboarding, communications, training, support, feedback, and adoption activities
• Partner with technical and business teams to define use cases, deployment and integration requirements, data needs, and readiness for scale
• Track outcomes, user feedback, costs, business value, and lessons learned to inform investment and deployment recommendations
• Prepare concise executive updates and decision materials, and establish reusable governance and operating processes

• Working knowledge of cloud, compute, application architecture, identity and access, integrations, and data flows
• Comfort with AI and agentic concepts, including model access, APIs, connectors, tool use, orchestration, and human oversight
• Awareness of security, privacy, data-access, governance, and operational considerations for enterprise AI
• Ability to translate technical decisions into clear business implications, risks, dependencies, and actions—and learn unfamiliar concepts quickly
• 5+ years in program management, consulting, operations, transformation, technology delivery, or a related field
• Proven ability to independently manage complex, cross-functional initiatives with senior stakeholders and interdependent workstreams
• Exceptional organization, follow-through, judgment, and attention to detail, with a strong bias toward action
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including concise synthesis of complex topics for varied audiences
• Comfort operating amid shifting priorities and incomplete information while moving between strategy and hands-on execution
• Professional maturity and confidence working with senior leaders, technical experts, business teams, and external partners
• Fast learner and pragmatic problem solver who creates order from ambiguity
• Accountable owner who moves work forward without waiting for perfect clarity
• Trusted collaborator who can hold teams accountable and move comfortably between executive discussions and detailed deployment issues
• Adaptable and resilient in a fast-paced, high-change environment
• Experience with enterprise technology deployments, AI or digital transformation programs, innovation initiatives, or complex pilots
