- Integrate change management and risk mitigation into program delivery.
- Track KPIs and collaborate on measurement, reporting, and insights.
- Promote efficiency through standard cadences, process improvements, and reduced silos.
- Communicate progress and iterate based on stakeholder feedback and evolving needs.
What we look for:
- 3+ years of experience in program or product operations, project leadership, or GTM roles in high-growth tech environments.
- Proven ability to lead complex programs at scale in fast-paced, data-driven settings.
- Strong communication skills with a talent for simplifying complex topics for diverse audiences.
- Operational mindset with experience in system-level design and process improvement.
