Lead a team of high performing EPMs: Lead, grow, and mentor a team of EPMs that are responsible for delivering our most important, and cross-functional product & engineering initiatives.

Manage Risks & Dependencies: Proactively identify, triage, and mitigate risks and cross-functional dependencies. You are the first to see a problem coming and the one who rallies the team to solve it
