Job Responsibilities:

• Own program planning and execution across multiple workstreams for internal applications.

• Translate product strategy and requirements into integrated plans, milestones, and dependency maps.

• Establish governance: operating cadence, executive updates, RAID (risks/assumptions/issues/dependencies), and change control.

• Drive alignment across stakeholders; surface decisions needed and provide clear options/recommendations.

• Coordinate releases and readiness (definition of done, acceptance criteria, cutover plans where applicable).

• Continuously improve delivery practices, templates, and metrics to increase transparency and predictability.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:

• 7+ years of program/project management experience delivering product or technology programs.

• Experience delivering in a hybrid (Agile + Waterfall) environment.

• Hands-on experience with Jira, Smartsheet, and MS Project for planning and tracking.

• Demonstrated budget responsibility, including forecasting and ongoing financial tracking.

• Strong data fluency (e.g., working with data engineering/analytics teams; understanding data quality, pipelines, governance impacts).

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including executive-ready status reporting.

• Experience delivering internal applications (enterprise workflows, operational tools, platforms).

• Certifications: PMP/PgMP, CSM/SAFe, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:
