• Lead cross-functional programs and portfolio governance (intake/prioritization, dependency mapping, RAID, senior-ready status).

• Strong data platform fluency (e.g., data products, pipelines, governance/metadata, platform adoption, reliability/resilience concepts) with the ability to translate technical complexity into executive language.
• Demonstrated ability to drive outcomes through influence in a matrix—comfort operating with ambiguity, competing priorities, and senior stakeholders.
• Solid financial and operational acumen: budgeting/forecasting, headcount planning, prioritization frameworks, and executive-level reporting.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication, with proven ability to build narratives, decision documents, and concise executive updates.

Preferred Qualifications
