- Establish and maintain active communication with key stakeholders across all PBUs, documented via meeting minutes and stakeholder feedback.
- Define and document technology roadmap artifacts for all agreed domains in partnership with PBU champions.
- Design and facilitate stakeholder workshops (including ideation sessions), targeting high (90%+) participation rates from PBU departments and generating actionable roadmaps aligned to PBU long-range plans (LRPs) and business priorities.
- Develop reusable program structures and playbooks for workshop execution, and support multi-phase program rollout across PBUs.
4. Program & Stakeholder Leadership
- Operate as a program owner across multiple concurrent, high-impact initiatives, structuring programs from initiation through execution.
- Proactively communicate progress and issue resolution to senior stakeholders; manage upward effectively.
- Confidently affirm progress and represent initiative status with a visible, assertive leadership presence in PBU and senior stakeholder engagements.
- Support the transition from individual contribution toward team leadership, including mentoring and scaling impact across domains.
