Responsibilities

You will own portfolio-level delivery coordination, orchestrating execution across multiple product teams, service lines, and enterprise functions.

• Capability Evolution and Development: Coach and calibrate Delivery Managers, building their fluency in AI-native discovery and delivery methodologies.
• Operational Excellence: Run alignment cadence at the level the work demands, and embed continuous, evidence-backed governance in the pipeline.
• Customer-Centric Problem Solving: Anchor teams to the charter outcome, treating "deployed evidence confirms intended behavior" as the real definition of done.
• Expert Proficiency and Continuous Improvement: Keep the engineering model lean by governing intake of AI-generated artifacts.
• Communication: Reconcile conflicting stakeholder and AI-drafted artifacts on the same initiative, run the forums where alignment happens, and escalate deliberately.
• Delivery Risk Management: Manage dependencies across products and platforms, using evidence-gated cycles, continuous governance, and audit trails as the primary risk controls.
• Organizational Engagement and Collaboration: Engage stakeholders across Product, Experience, and Engineering, govern AI-generated artifact intake as a partnership, and model senior Delivery behaviors.

• Communication: Exhibit excellent communication skills to inspire and influence stakeholders.
