Experience with metrics reporting and data visualization using Tableau, Snowflake, or similar BI tools
Strong written and verbal communication skills - you can write a crisp summary and facilitate a working session with equal comfort

Build and maintain project plans, milestones, and delivery timelines in Jira, Asana, or MS Project
Proactively identify risks, blockers, and scheduling conflicts across workstreams and surface them to the appropriate stakeholders before they affect delivery
Maintain a current RACI matrix across all active programs, ensuring ownership is clear and accountability gaps are documented and resolved
Coordinate scheduling, agendas, and follow-through for cross-functional working sessions, program reviews, and stakeholder meetings across G&A, R&D, and InfoSec/Technology
Manage action item tracking and follow-up across all programs, ensuring commitments are documented, owners are assigned, and deadlines are met
Serve as the operational coordinator for AI initiatives - managing meeting cadence, tracking action items and decisions, and driving follow-through on tasks
Develop and maintain program status dashboards and executive-level reporting for stakeholders
Produce regular program health reports that surface progress, risks, and decisions required in a format appropriate for each audience
Own stakeholder communications for program milestones, delays, and escalations - ensuring the right people have the right information at the right time
Build and maintain metrics frameworks for the IT and Information Security functions, tracking operational KPIs, SLA performance, and program velocity
