• Strong critical-path and dependency management skills, including the ability to create complex delivery plans and proactively mitigate risks.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present technical and program information clearly to audiences ranging from engineering teams to executive leadership.
• Strong technical intuition and the ability to understand engineering challenges well enough to facilitate effective decisions and coordination.
• Experience with cloud platform, SaaS, cost-optimization, or operational-efficiency initiatives is an advantage.
