• Track program progress, identify and resolve dependencies, evaluate risks, and communicate status updates to executive leadership and program stakeholders.
• Mentor team members and drive continuous improvement in program management practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience managing technical programs.
• Demonstrated success leading complex, large-scale technology initiatives and geographically distributed backend systems.
• Strong track record of stakeholder management across Engineering, Product, Design, Analytics, and other functions.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with attention to execution detail and ship on schedule.
