• Develop and maintain frameworks that support prioritization, OKR alignment, and investment tracking against strategic outcomes.
• Build and lead a team of Coaches and Enablement Specialists focused on accelerating the adoption of value-driven practices.
• Drive measurable improvements in delivery predictability, quality, and employee engagement through systems-level feedback and experimentation.
• Lead leadership-level capability building (e.g., adaptive leadership, flow-based governance, decision-making through data).
• Establish metrics and reporting mechanisms that quantify business value, flow efficiency, and reinvestment capacity.
• Partner with enterprise transformation functions to align enablement activities with modernization and cost transformation objectives.
• Cultivate a culture of continuous improvement, psychological safety, and shared ownership across technology and business teams.
