• Coordinate Global Transformation Workstreams: Manage project activities and deliverables across infrastructure, enterprise technology, software development, and operational teams supporting the broader AI transformation.
• Drive IT Readiness and SDLC Modernization: Coordinate initiatives related to AI-enabled developer tools, software development workflows, testing processes, CI/CD pipelines, and changes to established technology practices.
• Manage Project Plans and Dependencies: Develop and maintain detailed project plans, milestones, timelines, dependencies, risks, and action items across multiple concurrent workstreams.
• Align International Stakeholders: Coordinate communication, schedules, and deliverables between US-based technical teams and UK/EU stakeholders, accommodating different time zones and working hours.
• Track Implementation Progress: Use project management tools to monitor deliverables, identify gaps, elevate blockers, and maintain visibility into project status and upcoming milestones.
• Partner with Technical Teams: Work closely with infrastructure, cloud, development, enterprise applications, and other IT teams to coordinate readiness activities and resolve cross-functional dependencies.
• Proactively Manage Risks and Issues: Identify potential delivery challenges, challenge assumptions, follow up on outstanding actions, and drive accountability to keep initiatives on track.
• Provide Stakeholder Reporting: Prepare clear project updates, communicate risks and dependencies, facilitate working sessions, and provide leadership with visibility into progress and outstanding decisions.
• Support Change and Adoption Activities: Coordinate the implementation of new tools, processes, and technology capabilities while ensuring impacted teams are aligned on timelines and responsibilities.
