Execution Excellence & Risk Management

• Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks related to infrastructure, compliance, dependencies, and delivery timelines
• Support engineering teams with impediment removal, exception handling, and dependency resolution
• Drive automation and operational improvements to create visibility, repeatability and a single source of truth across delivery processes

Ways of Working & Continuous Improvement

• Champion Agile and Lean delivery practices, supporting self-organizing engineering teams operating in complex environments
• Lead retrospectives and lessons learned to continuously improve delivery effectiveness, collaboration, and program outcomes
• Act as a change agent, helping teams navigate evolving requirements, regulatory constraints, and platform priorities

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience delivering complex, cross-team initiatives in fast-paced technical environments
• 3+ years in a TPM, Product Manager, Software Architect, or similar role
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms and distributed systems, including APIs and services on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
• Demonstrated ability to manage large-scale infrastructure or platform programs with significant dependencies
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across technical and non-technical audiences
• Strong problem-solving skills with a bias toward action and outcomes

Preferred Qualifications
