DESCRIPTION

You will be primarily responsible for defining and delivering the technical components of the Product Assurance, Risk and Safety (PARS)'s Document Lifecycle Initiative (DLI) with a focus on Chemical Safety and Compliance (CSC) as the initial use case. DLI will provide the future for all document storage related activity for Product Assurance, Risk and Safety (PARS) including automated validation, vetting, and data extraction n for the purposes of augmenting catalog and driving both safety and compliance related decisions. The engineering for DLI involves multiple cross- functional touch point and will involve coordinating activity across numerous tech teams. The overall strategy is defined but you will own the execution including: the technology roadmap and directly lead the development, implementation, and delivery of the DLI initiative. As the principal TPM, you will drive the business and system-level reviews, align with engineering teams, make architectural decisions, and drive adoption of the critical mechanisms necessary to ensure the program's success. You will be expected to make appropriate trade-offs to optimize time-to-market, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to internal cross-functional and remote project teams.

The right candidate will possess the ability to effectively drive, influence and negotiate with data (not power). They will have demonstrated experience leading large projects with cross-functional teams having shared goals not necessarily direct authority. You should thrive in an entrepreneurial environment and shouldn't be hindered by ambiguity or multiple competing priorities. As a Principal Leader you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make trade-offs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, develop functional specifications, then deliver them in a successful and timely manner. Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent, and leadership are essential to success in this role.
