In this high-visibility role, you will be responsible for organizing and driving the Software centralization program, streamlining operational workflows, and uniting cross-functional teams around a shared vision. As a forward-thinking technology leader, you will leverage cutting-edge AI tools (such as Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT) to accelerate program delivery, optimize decision-making, and automate complex workflows.
Key Responsibilities

- Work seamlessly with Product Management, Engineering, Operations, Security, and Business Stakeholders to align software transfer roadmaps, establish clear program milestones, and drive accountability.
- Establish robust program frameworks, standard operating procedures, key performance indicators (KPIs), and progress dashboards to ensure clear alignment and visibility across all levels of leadership.
- Actively integrate modern AI tools (e.g., Gemini, Claude) into daily program management practices, program status reporting, speeding up technical analysis, and boosting team velocity.
- Act as the primary point of contact for the Software Management Program, delivering transparent, high-impact updates, executive summaries, and strategic presentations tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proactively identify technical dependencies, bottlenecks, and program risks, developing robust mitigation strategies to keep projects on schedule and within scope.

- AI & Tech Fluency: Hands-on experience leveraging modern AI/LLM tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) for workflow optimization, technical documentation generation, data synthesis, and productivity enhancement.
- Technical Foundation: Solid understanding of software development lifecycles (SDLC), system architecture concepts, and modern Cloud/SaaS infrastructure environments.
