• Ensure all internal stakeholders have clear ownership of their scope, timelines, and dependencies and maintain that clarity as programs evolve.
• Identify and actively manage cross-team dependencies, sequencing work and resolving conflicts before they compound.
• Run program cadences including working groups and status reporting with the right level of structure to drive accountability without overhead.
• Act as the primary orchestrator of client-facing communication, ensuring the client has a consistent, credible view of program status, tradeoffs, and timelines.
• Translate between technical and commercial audiences, making complex delivery realities legible to client stakeholders without oversimplifying or overpromising.
• Build and sustain trust with client stakeholders through reliable cadences, proactive transparency, and disciplined expectation-setting in difficult situations.
• Surface risks and dependencies early, with enough context and framing for stakeholders to make informed decisions rather than deferring them.
• Exercise sound judgment on when to escalate and when to resolve, protecting team focus while ensuring leadership has visibility on what matters.
• Frame tradeoffs clearly and lead decision-making forums that drive alignment and produce actionable outcomes.
• Own the program’s operational infrastructure: status reporting, dependency tracking, risk logs, and decision records.
• Maintain a single, credible picture of program health that is accessible to both internal leadership and client stakeholders.
• Continuously improve delivery practices and coordination patterns based on what is actually happening in the program.

• Working knowledge of modern software development: agile, release cycles, and engineering tradeoffs.

Qualifications

• Effective written and verbal communicator who can translate between technical and commercial audiences.
• Systems thinker who maps dependencies, sequences work, and cuts through complexity to keep the program focused on what drives outcomes.
• Runs effective program cadences that keep teams moving and accountable, with the right level of structure for the complexity at hand.
• Exercises judgment in tense situations: knows when to escalate, when to absorb, and how to keep stakeholders confident without overpromising.
