Develop and present regular, insightful status reports and executive updates to senior management, effectively communicating progress, challenges, and the organizational impact of the internal tools strategy. WHAT YOU BRING Deep analytical and problem-solving skills to evaluate complex, variable factors and propose creative, effective solutions that resolve issues in the program's operations. Demonstrated ability to establish and drive strategic operational objectives for projects, coupled with the tactical skills to delegate assignments and coordinate activities across diverse teams (e.g., Team Lead experience). Strong business acumen and communication skills, capable of interacting regularly with senior management and executive levels to change thinking, gain acceptance, and influence strategic priorities without damaging relationships. Expert knowledge of the software product development lifecycle and experience applying program management concepts to deliver technology solutions that significantly impact organizational objectives.
