environments and multiple concurrent workstreams. • Leverage tools such as Rally/Jira for milestone, execution, defect, dependency, and program-level reporting. • Coordinate testing activities involving cloud-based platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, where applicable. • Ensure testing activities appropriately address Finance, Risk, Regulatory, and Compliance requirements, controls, and program commitments. Preferred Experience & Qualifications • Demonstrated experience managing large-scale E2E testing programs or complex enterprise initiatives. • Strong Project/Program Management capabilities, with the ability to manage testing across multiple platforms and organizations rather than within a single Scrum team. • Proven experience developing and executing enterprise-level test strategies, test plans, integrated schedules, and testing governance. • Strong experience with defect management, triage, release readiness, dependency management, and risk management. • Proven ability to create executive dashboards, program test summaries, and leadership presentations. • Strong executive communication skills with experience presenting to VP-level and senior leadership. • Experience with Rally and/or Jira reporting and dashboards. • Familiarity with AWS, Azure, GCP, or other cloud platforms. • Experience working within Finance, Regulatory, Risk, or Compliance portfolios is highly desirable. • Prior American Express experience and familiarity with Amex technology/program management processes is a plus."
