  • Strong program management fundamentals, including experience defining workstreams, milestones, owners, dependencies, risks, decision points, critical path items, and escalation paths
  • Experience managing cross-functional programs with multiple stakeholders, ambiguous ownership, evolving timelines, and meaningful execution dependencies
  • Ability to move between technical detail and executive-level synthesis
  • Demonstrated ability to build and maintain integrated roadmaps, master timelines, dashboards, trackers, operating documents, and leadership reporting systems
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to turn complex discussions into clear decisions, action items, program plans, and executive updates
