• Drive a portfolio of strategic programs across growth, field operations, and product lifecycle.
• Identify risks and dependencies early, surface trade-offs to decision-makers, and unblock teams.
• Turn what we learn from each program into repeatable playbooks, processes, and tools the company can reuse.
• Build clear program visibility, including dashboards, status reporting, and executive updates, so leadership always knows where things stand.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience in program management, business operations, strategy and operations, or a related cross-functional role.
• Proven track record of leading multi-stakeholder programs from ambiguity to delivery in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
