Communication & Reporting

• Own outbound communications to stakeholders and leadership, including status updates, delivery forecasts, risks, and milestones
• Create clear, concise artifacts such as dashboards, timelines, RAID logs, and executive summaries
• Act as a central point of coordination between technical teams and non‑technical partners

Technical Environment (Experience Strongly Preferred)

Experience managing projects involving data ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and analytics consumption is a major plus.

• Proven success managing multiple teams and complex delivery roadmaps
• Strong understanding of Agile / Scrum methodologies
• Excellent organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to translate between technical and business audiences
• Experience managing dependencies, risks, and delivery forecasts in dynamic environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with data engineering, analytics, or data platform teams
• Familiarity with cloud‑native data architectures, especially on AWS
• Experience supporting both streaming and batch data processing
• Background as a technical contributor (engineering, data, or analytics)

What Success Looks Like

• Stakeholders have clear visibility into priorities, timelines, and risks
