• Exposure to MuleSoft or other enterprise integration platforms such as Boomi and Informatica.
• PMP or PgMP certification preferred.
• Experience managing large enterprise transformation programs and implementation partners.

• Ability to manage multiple vendors, workstreams, and global teams.
• Comfortable engaging senior executives while managing detailed execution activities.
• Strong experience driving complex supply chain technology implementations.
