  • Cloud and API-driven transformation projects
  • Technical debt remediation and modernization efforts
  • Develop and maintain integrated project plans, milestones, budgets, risks, and dependencies.
  • Drive alignment between Product Management, Engineering, Architecture, UX, Infrastructure, Security, and Business stakeholders.
  • Facilitate executive-level governance and steering committee meetings.
  • Establish clear communication plans, project reporting, and delivery metrics.
  • Identify risks, issues, and roadblocks and proactively drive resolution.
  • Coordinate distributed teams across multiple time zones and external partners.
  • Ensure engineering priorities and product objectives remain aligned throughout execution.
  • Manage program dependencies across multiple workstreams and release schedules.
  • Support organizational change management, adoption planning, and implementation activities.
  • Track delivery performance and continuously improve execution practices.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of Project Management, Program Management, or Transformation Management experience.
  • Demonstrated success leading large-scale enterprise technology initiatives.
  • Experience delivering projects in multiple of the following areas:
  • Point of Sale (POS)
  • eCommerce platforms
  • Digital product delivery
  • UI/UX transformation
  • Platform modernization
  • Enterprise architecture initiatives
  • Technical debt reduction
  • Cloud transformation
  • API and systems integration
  • Strong understanding of Agile, Scrum, and hybrid project delivery methodologies.
  • Experience managing cross-functional teams of Product Managers, Engineers, Architects, UX Designers, and Business Leaders.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities simultaneously.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience within retail, hospitality, consumer, or multi-location enterprise environments.
  • Experience supporting global technology rollouts and geographically distributed teams.
  • Familiarity with modern architecture principles, cloud platforms, microservices, and digital commerce ecosystems.
  • PMP, PgMP, PMI-ACP, Scrum Master, SAFe, or equivalent certifications.
  • Experience working with external vendors, system integrators, and consulting partners.
