  • Build and manage comprehensive technical timelines and milestones that include deliverables across various engineering and business areas, and ultimately map into revenue impacting objects and workstreams. This includes the ability to drive discussions that confirm and refine these timelines as road to delivery progresses.

  • Manage overarching risks by leading both tactical, cross-functional discussions that lead to mitigations, as well as up leveled leadership discussions to enable appropriate decision making in order to activate mitigation plans.

  • Build reports and presentations to elevate clear and meaningful perspectives on program health to SVP+ levels, creating confidence and accountability across various cross-org functions, including Product, Engineering, Marketing, Business and Content teams.

  • Lead large forums of cross-functional technical team leads to continuously provide clarity and communications of strategic, tactical, and process changes, and generally facilitate continuous alignment in a fast paced environment.

  • Be a thought leader in how to execute with efficiency in a fast paced, innovative environment, participate in process improvement working groups, and ultimately become an agent of change.

  • Cultivate a culture that rewards aggressive pursuit of innovative solutions to problems

What you'll need:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or engineering is preferred, but equivalent work experience is accepted

  • Minimum 12 years of deep experience in leading large scale engineering focused programs across multiple cross-functional teams, with complex interdependencies, providing product and business deliverables with high visibility and orchestration.
