About The Position

A track record of leading with accountability, clarity, and composure under pressure

Maintain full ownership (leave no question unasked) across multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously.
Serve as the primary point of accountability for project health by proactively identifying risks and developing mitigation plans before they escalate.
Facilitate solution development with subject matter experts and build comprehensive project plans and risk registers across multiple workstreams.
Lead governance and reporting cadences: status meetings + follow ups, standups, milestone reviews, and executive-level project updates
Experience working directly with external IT, Security, Engineering, and QA; comfortable holding technical partners accountable to timelines without writing the code
Proficiency in enterprise project management platforms like Workfront, with comfort using collaboration and documentation tools such as SharePoint and Microsoft Teams
Experience in change management, with the ability to guide teams and stakeholders through shifting priorities, assess downstream impacts, communicate implications clearly, and drive alignment
Model documentation hygiene and PM best practices
Contribute to PMO process development, playbooks, and onboarding materials as the team scales
