Your primary responsibility will be to streamline work by implementing a service orientation structure, model, & tools to better manage and measure the flow of work such that high value items are worked on first, work ambiguity is reduced, and it enables more predictable metrics on delivery efficiency.

Your efforts will significantly enhance collaboration and optimize delivery outcomes.

You will leverage Kanban methodologies to prioritize high-value work, reduce work in progress (WIP) limits, and foster a culture of transparency and continuous improvement. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you will drive the adoption of Kanban principles, enabling better predictability, throughput, and customer satisfaction.

You will report into Senior Director, Delivery Practice & Portfolio Reporting and continuously learn from seasoned leaders, fostering your professional growth with each project.
