  • Risk & Dependency Management: Proactively identify program, delivery, and cross-functional risks and dependencies, establishing mechanisms to ensure early issue identification, clear ownership of mitigation and implementation, and on-track delivery of project commitments.

  • Data-Driven Execution: Define and track program health metrics. Use data to identify bottlenecks in project workflows and drive continuous process improvements.

You Have:

  • Experience: 5+ years of Program Management experience in a high-growth technology environment.
