You'll act as a liaison between your development teams and other internal groups such as Product Management, Design, Docs, Legal and Marketing to ensure clear lines of communication are maintained and program delivery is smooth and effective.
You'll own the success of a program from end-to-end, tracking and reporting on progress, and driving resolution of issues. Working with your peers across the organization, you'll ensure accountability, execution of timelines, and continuous change management to deliver on-time, quality results.
You'll ensure your team has the necessary resources and support to ensure success.
You'll be part of the team driving company-wide program management practice standardization and improvement. Your experience and expertise will help bring us to the next level.
