    • Comfortable leading in a gray space and enabling teams to deliver tangible results 
    • Influence key decisions working cross-functionally across engineering, operations, finance, and strategy and other teams to reach the right conclusions
    • Define KPIs and other methods to measure metrics that best translate progress towards goals
    • Be the key interface with stakeholders and leadership and exercise judgment and discretion to develop solutions to remove obstacles and redefine approaches.

Qualifications

    • 15+ years of experience in engineering, program management, or management consulting with a focus on process rollouts and product launches 
    • Success in driving complex SW/HW integration processes and optimizations, and leading complex cross-functional programs end to end
    • Proficient in tools or processes required to manage complex projects (i.e. Gantt charts, risk matrices, Smartsheet, JIRA, etc.)
    • Excellent written, presentation and verbal communication skills are a must, ability to create visualizations of KPIs and program risks
