  • Cook up and coordinate implementations from kickoff through deployment in partnership with the PMO, maintaining proactive communication across matrixed stakeholders.
  • Provide lateral leadership by leading daily coordination and recurring meetings, supporting new-hire onboarding, coaching junior team members through pairing and feedback, and fostering a culture of accountability, engagement, and continuous improvement.
