- Contribute to the definition, drafting, and solutioning of business requirements partnering with customers, product, and engineering to turn ambiguous needs into clear, actionable specifications.
- Participate in an agile delivery cadence, standups, sprint planning, grooming, and retros
- Manage the dashboards and reporting that keep customers and internal teams aligned.
- Manage scope, change orders, and escalations in coordination with the Partnership team, Legal, and Finance, maintaining awareness of SOWs, milestone commitments, and invoicing requirements.
- Develop and maintain program master schedules, budgets, risk logs, and the team assets, playbooks, decks, templates, that scale how we deliver across accounts.
- Drive routine status communications to customers and executive leadership, execution vs. baseline, risks, mitigations, and recovery actions, using data to drive decisions and unblock the team.
- Additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.
