What you will do :

  • Program Management : You'll drive the end-to-end, on-time delivery of cross-functional initiatives, including the planning, managing, monitoring, and reporting of critical workstreams, identifying and mitigating risks to program success, clearing roadblocks, and ensuring all work is being conducted efficiently, with transparency, and in close alignment with business goals, product strategies, partners, and leadership.

You'll create regular opportunities for the teams to reflect on what's working well and what needs adjustment, using data to guide improvements. You'll help make sure we're measuring what matters and acting on those insights.
  • Resource Management : You'll maintain a deep understanding of where and how to allocate people resources effectively across our key program initiatives to ensure we have enough of the right people in the right places at the right times.
  • Communication and Engagement : You'll engage regularly with development teams, cross-functional partners, and leadership to communicate progress, updates, challenges, and outcomes across all workstreams within your program, with a focus on making complex information clear and actionable while also ensuring everyone involved understands the "what" and the "why".
  • Process Creation and Optimization : You'll contribute to our program management Community of Practice by creating, optimizing, and refining processes, with a keen eye toward those that also enhance the efficiency, scalability, and quality of our work.
