• Project-manage cross-functional teams across Market Vertical, Product Management, Engineering, Testing, Legal, Operations, Security, and Release Management.
• Conduct stakeholder negotiations that span across portfolios, driving alignment on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs across numerous large, complex projects.

• Build development road maps and project schedules, and support roadmap planning, quarterly planning, and execution tracking activities.
• Maintain ownership of and accountability for schedules, milestones, dependencies, risks, and delivery status.
• Define key performance parameters and create regular variance reports to track progress.
• Schedule and facilitate project review meetings and stakeholder updates.
• Communicate program and project status — including schedule variances and mitigation options — to leadership and stakeholders.
• Collaborate with senior Engineering resources and other project stakeholders to resolve issues and mitigate project impacts.
• Support release coordination and operational rollout activities.
• Perform data analysis relevant to project delivery and operational improvement initiatives.
• Identify and make recommendations for improvement to existing processes, procedures, and operational workflows.
