What You''ll Do

 * Lead technical programs and cross-organizational initiatives end-to-end, managing scope, timelines, dependencies, and risk
 * Leverage technical knowledge to assess feasibility, estimate program timelines, and determine resourcing
 * Participate in rapid response to security escalations and incident management - identifying risks and driving mitigation to resolution
 * Drive process improvements and automation opportunities using Agile / SAFe methodologies
 * Build and maintain program documentation - status reports, program plans, KPIs, retrospectives
 * Facilitate collaboration across internal and external stakeholder teams, driving consensus and clear communication
 * Partner with development teams to enhance reports, dashboards, forecasts, and tools
 * Manage change across priority, scope, scheduling, and requirement shifts
