• Lead resolution of complex blockers, particularly where regulatory, vendor, or policy dependencies create ambiguity
• Continuously improve the program based on performance data to identify where partners stall, compress timelines, and redesign for scale
• Partner with Product and Engineering to build technology that reduces manual effort and enables partners to self-navigate their activation journey

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of program or project management experience
• Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements
• Experience owning program strategy, end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership
• Bachelor's degree
• Experience managing programs across cross-functional teams, building processes and coordinating release schedules

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with and managing third party vendors, or experience building launch readiness frameworks, standard work, playbooks, and scalable deployment mechanisms across multiple concurrent sites
• MBA, or Master's degree in supply chain management, operations, engineering, analytics or related field
• Experience navigating regulatory or compliance environments with external dependencies
• Ability to recognize opportunities where generative AI could enhance workflows, or customer experiences
• Experience in logistics, transportation, or fleet management industries
