• Manage program governance, including status reporting, executive updates, escalation management, and clear stakeholder communication around program goals, progress, risks, and decisions
• Act as a central point of coordination across Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Sales, and Operations
• Track and communicate program success using defined KPIs and outcome-based metrics
• Incorporate feedback from internal teams and customers to refine future initiatives
