• Manage cross‑functional dependencies across systems such as Snowflake, Sigma, Oracle EBS, PLM, Middleware, etc.
• Maintain clear program‑level visibility through status reporting, dashboards, and stakeholder updates
• Drive alignment across multiple concurrent initiatives, balancing strategic priorities and ad‑hoc requests
• Optimize use of tools such as Jira for backlog management, sprint tracking, and reporting

• Continuously improve team efficiency, communication, and delivery predictability
• Establish and lead incident management processes, including defining SLAs, severity levels, and response protocols to ensure timely triage and resolution of data issues
• Drive clear stakeholder communication during incidents and lead post‑mortems to identify root cause, implement corrective actions, and improve overall data reliability and monitoring

• 7+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Scrum Master, or Project Management roles within data or technology organizations
• Strong understanding of data ecosystems including data engineering, analytics, BI/reporting, and data science workflows
• Proven experience running agile delivery at scale, including backlog grooming, sprint planning, and estimation practices
• Strong ability to translate business requirements into technical deliverables
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders
• Strong communication skills required for stakeholder as well as technical communication
• Experience in retail, eCommerce, or luxury goods is a plus
• Working understanding of cloud environment (AWS, GCP) and cloud databases (Snowflake, Databricks, Postgre
  
  SQL) is a nice to have
