Program & Project Execution: Lead cross-functional program planning and execution, manage dependencies across concurrent workstreams, and ensure all projects adhere to standards for scope, schedule, budget, and reporting.
Risk & Governance: Maintain RAID logs, drive mitigations, escalate blockers, and establish governance cadences including steering committees, milestone gates, and decision forums across portfolio, program, and project levels.
Release & Change Management: Own release planning, operate the Change Advisory Board, govern deployment processes through dev/quality/production environments, and manage transport and environment scheduling.
Financial Management: Develop and track annual budgets, produce monthly forecasts, drive cost optimization through vendor consolidation and rate negotiation, and deliver financial reporting including ROI tracking and variance analysis.
Vendor & SI Management: Govern vendor contracts, manage SOWs, conduct performance scorecarding, ensure deliverable accountability, and oversee resource quality across all external partners.
