This is an execution and operationalization role,the ideal candidate thrives on structure, discipline, and follow-through - with deep experience running enterprise PMOs or transformation offices inside a fast-moving, matrixed organization.
ResponsibilitiesMilestone Tracking & Traffic-Light Reporting
- Build and maintain the required templates: Milestone and traffic-light status against plan; Dependencies, asks, and who needsto be kept informed
- Run the recurring refresh cycle so every leader's status is current and ready for sharing to the SVP & CRO
- Flag "at risk" milestones early and escalate through the right channel before they become surprises
Cadence & Meeting Operating Rhythm
- Own the cadence architecture - weekly cadence/monthly/executive review steercos as well as all agendas, pre-reads, and follow-ups
- Ensure every session has a clear owner, a decision log, and closed-loop follow-through on action items
- Optimize every call - no meeting happens without a purpose, an owner, and a next step
Dependency & Accountability Management
- Maintain the ask/dependency tracker for each channel workstream - what's owed, by whom, by when, and who needs to be kept informed
- Chase open commitments to closure; escalate stalled dependencies before they block delivery
- Hold leaders accountable to their own commitments without requiring the VP to chase each one personally
Templates & Operating System Build-Out
- Partner with the VP Strategy & Transformation to translate the operating-system design into simple, repeatable templates
- Continuously refine templates based on what leaders actually use versus ignore
- Build the toolkit once, rather than reinventing it per leader or per cycle
Executive Reporting & Visibility
- Prepare the consolidated view for the Channel SVP, Channel LT & CRO - status, risk, and dependencies - rolled up across every priority and factory
- Make reporting airtight enough that the VP can operate as architect, not operator
- Own the single source of truth for transformation status; no leader should be surprised by what's on the tracker

- Experience building and running milestone/status tracking systems (traffic-light reporting, dependency trackers) across multiple leaders or teams
