GE Health Care fosters a diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone can contribute to their full potential in support of our mission to create a world where healthcare has no limits.

Quickly decompose ambiguous problem statements into clear problem definitions, success criteria, and deliverables. Synthesize next steps into lightweight, right-sized project plans (e.g., milestones, owners, dependencies) and keep them current as facts change. Define measurable outcomes/leading indicators; track progress and use data to inform decisions and trade-offs. Apply structured problem-solving methods (e.g., 5-Whys) to identify root causes and recommend pragmatic solutions.

Support the Program Manager to orchestrate multiple projects within a product line across LSS and partner teams. Proactively manage cross-functional execution to remove blockers, clarify ownership, and avoid gaps/delays. Maintain a risk/issue/decision log; anticipate integration issues and propose options with pros/cons and impacts on scope, cost, and schedule. Facilitate crisp status communication tailored to audiences (team, leadership, suppliers), highlighting decisions needed, risks, and next steps.

Partner with business and technical leaders to clarify requirements, align goals, and validate acceptance criteria. Prepare concise briefings (slides, one-pagers) that capture problem context, options considered, selected approach, and results. Demonstrate ownership, follow-through, and a bias for action while operating with humility and openness to feedback.
