• Manage disaster recovery planning and execution while maintaining current internal configuration management and risk systems.
• Oversee applications throughout their complete lifecycle—from initial concept through design, implementation, and eventual retirement—across multiple platforms and tools.
• Take end-to-end ownership of assigned projects, proactively identifying and resolving roadblocks, coordinating cross-functional resources, and ensuring timely delivery of high-quality outcomes that meet business objectives.

• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with the ability to effectively multitask and prioritize competing demands in fast-paced environments.
