• Develop and maintain integrated program plans that capture milestones, dependencies, decisions, risks, issues, and delivery progress throughout the migration lifecycle.
• Create and deliver executive-level reporting that clearly communicates program status, risks, tradeoffs, key decisions, and cross-functional dependencies.
• Facilitate alignment across business, product, architecture, data, and engineering teams to resolve ambiguity and accelerate delivery.
• Translate technical constraints and architectural decisions into understandable business impacts for finance stakeholders and executive leadership.
• Establish governance models, operating cadences, and decision-making forums that improve visibility, accountability, and delivery predictability.
• Proactively identify blockers, risks, and readiness gaps, and drive mitigation plans through influence and structured escalation.
• Support organizational change readiness by helping teams prepare for process, reporting, and platform transitions as legacy capabilities are retired.
• Promote sustainable delivery practices, documentation standards, and operational readiness to ensure successful cutover and long-term supportability.
