• Demonstrated success leading progress across distributed teams and multiple collaborators, aligning priorities and sequencing work effectively.

• Strong communicator and facilitator, comfortable navigating ambiguity, resolving misalignment, and influencing decisions without formal authority.

• A trusted cross-functional partner who keeps teams aligned, advised, and unblocked while balancing autonomy and accountability.

• Strong proficiency with program management and planning tools (JIRA, Confluence, Airtable, or similar), and the ability to tailor tooling to fit new programs.
