The successful candidate is a strong project/program manager with senior presence and polish-able to operate confidently in a large enterprise environment, interact with senior stakeholders, and represent our company well.

Drive cross-team collaboration and orchestration across stakeholders (client teams, internal teams, and partners), ensuring timely inputs and decisions. Consolidate feedback, questions, and change requests; manage content intake and updates to keep materials current and aligned to stakeholder needs. Create and/or coordinate production of program communications and content deliverables (written docs, FAQs, and slide decks) in partnership with subject matter experts. Run planning and execution rhythms (standups/check-ins), and ensure readiness activities and launches are delivered on time and with high quality.

Strong client-facing presence with senior polish; warm, professional relationship-builder who can earn trust quickly and operate effectively with senior stakeholders.
