• Create visibility, clarity, and drive delivery by managing program governance, identifying risks, coordinating resources, and ensuring teams execute effectively toward shared goals.

• Brings 8+ years leading technical programs in enterprise software and B2B SaaS, with a strong track record managing large, complex initiatives with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
• Demonstrates excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to drive alignment and decisions, simplifying complex topics and appropriately adjusting altitude to fit the audience and situation.
• Is outcome-driven, comfortable working with ambiguity, and able to move fast in uncertain situations to solve problems.
• Shows AI fluency with a track record of learning and applying emerging technologies quickly to unlock new ways of working.
• Possesses the ability to leverage data and AI-powered tools to drive alignment and decision-making.
• Has experience with project management and collaboration software and tools (Asana experience is a plus).
