  • Define and evolve program management frameworks, processes, and best practices across the engineering organization.
  • Drive alignment across complex dependency landscapes involving multiple teams, external partners, and competing priorities.

  • Deep expertise managing multi-team software programs across the full SDLC, including large-scale platform, infrastructure, or product initiatives.
  • Strong technical foundation — able to engage credibly in architectural discussions, understand system design trade-offs, and evaluate technical risk.
  • Exceptional communication and executive presence — skilled at influencing without authority and navigating organizational dynamics.
  • Experience building or improving program management processes and tooling at an organizational level.
  • Proven ability to manage ambiguity, drive clarity, and make sound decisions under pressure in fast-paced environments.
