• Coordinate delivery efforts spanning Salesforce-related initiatives, system integrations, reporting environments, data governance activities, enterprise readiness planning, and release management.
• Monitor vendor and partner performance to ensure work is delivered in line with agreed statements of work, timelines, and quality expectations.
• Support release cycles through sprint alignment, backlog discussions, deployment readiness reviews, and stakeholder coordination.
• Act as the central escalation point for program risks, interdependencies, delivery blockers, and other issues affecting successful execution.
• Synchronize activities across global stakeholder groups in multiple regions to promote consistency, transparency, and program momentum.
