Responsibilities

Own the integrated program plan, connecting dependencies across product, engineering, user experience design, sales/commercial, legal, and finance workstreams
Synthesize complex program data into strategic insights for executive decision-making—not just status compilation, but analysis of program health, trajectory, business implications, and financial impact
Proactively identify and escalate risks, dependencies, and blockers before they impact delivery
Translate technical progress into business language for presentations, executive reviews and customer engagements
Build and maintain strong working relationships with workstream leads, technical leads, commercial teams, and executive sponsors

Monitor platform metrics that matter to the business: customer adoption, utilization, retention, and commercial performance
Build business operations muscle as the platform scales from startup mode to enterprise-scale operations
Establish and enforce program and technical project management operating rhythms: status reporting, risk reviews, decision forums, and escalation protocols
Create executive-quality deliverables (status reports, program reviews, risk assessments, business reviews) that provide actionable insights, not just data aggregation
Drive accountability across teams without direct reporting relationships
Ensure SDLC compliance, milestone tracking, and quality gates are met across all workstreams
Track resource utilization, capacity planning, and budget alignment
Manage cross-team dependencies and ensure workstreams aren't blocked waiting on each other
Build and scale the platform operations team over the next two years as we move from beta to general availability

Establish organizational processes and operating models for a growing platform organization
Develop talent and create career pathways for team members
