Skills and Requirements

• 7+ years of project or program management experience, ideally supporting complex technology or engineering initiatives.
• Proven experience actively managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong experience creating and managing Gantt charts, integrated program plans, critical paths, and cross-project dependencies.
• Working knowledge of services, APIs, application integrations, and software development concepts. Coding experience is not required.
• Hands-on experience using Jira to manage projects, deliverables, risks, and workstreams.
• Strong understanding of Agile software development and technology delivery environments.
• Demonstrated ability to facilitate conversations across technical teams and drive decisions and next steps.
• Excellent communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills.
• Highly proactive, assertive, and comfortable holding people accountable in a collaborative environment.
• Experience supporting application modernization, legacy system retirement, platform migration, or technology transformation programs.
• Experience working across multiple engineering teams or locations.
• Experience supporting AI, data, cloud, or broader digital transformation initiatives.
• Previous experience in insurance or another complex enterprise environment.
• PMP, PgMP, Scrum, or similar program/project management certification.
