  • 6+ years of experience in program management, project management, IT operations, enterprise technology, or a related field.

  • 3+ years leading large, cross‑functional initiatives that span multiple teams, functions, or business areas.

  • Strong understanding of how IT operates in a large enterprise (infrastructure, security, identity, collaboration, applications, and support).

  • Demonstrated experience building and managing program plans, milestones, risks, issues, dependencies, and executive status updates.

  • Proven ability to influence without direct authority and drive progress across teams with competing priorities.

  • Strong business acumen and ability to connect technology work to business strategy, operating goals, and partnership outcomes.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical teams, business stakeholders, and senior leaders.
