• Proficiency in setting up governance models, decision‑making frameworks, and program health metrics.
• Ability to drive consistency in execution across different teams, priorities, and timelines.
• Proven track record of influencing at all levels, from engineers to C‑suite executives, through clear and compelling written and verbal communication.
• Experience handling multi‑functional trade‑offs, ensuring collaboration rather than friction across engineering, product, and design teams.
• Strong facilitation and organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize across competing work streams and lead teams to meet deadlines with minimal supervision.
• Demonstrated experience managing program budgets and forecasting resource needs across multi‑team initiatives.
• Strong understanding of engineering workflows and architectural trade‑offs, including highly available, distributed, and scalable enterprise systems, even if not hands‑on coding.
