In this role, you will independently organize work, establish milestones, manage interdependencies, and keep teams aligned against shared objectives in a fast‑moving environment.

The ideal candidate brings a strong delivery mindset, confidently facilitates discussions across technical and business teams, and is comfortable engaging vocal, senior stakeholders with clarity and presence. Success requires the ability to drive execution with limited hand holding, create structure where needed, proactively identify and mitigate risks early, and communicate effectively to leadership on progress, issues, and decisions.

* Establish and reinforce strong planning discipline across teams, including the use of tools such as Jira to support execution hygiene, transparency, and progress tracking

* Define, manage, and monitor cross-team dependencies and ensure ownership is clear across all contributors through structured delivery practices such as RACI-based accountability

* Provide regular project status updates to sponsors and senior leadership, highlighting progress, decisions…
