Report program health, milestones, and risks to team members and cross-functional leadership.
Participate in brainstorming sessions and translate technical concepts into actionable project roadmaps.
Identify, track, and mitigate technical risks, driving them to full resolution while maintaining transparent stakeholder communication.
Maximize development momentum by aggressively triaging client-server bugs, clarifying engineering requirements, and unblocking cross-functional bottlenecks.
Preferred Qualifications
Proven experience leading large-scale data platform modernization or complex system migration programs.
Deep understanding of client-server architecture, including runtime lifecycles, performance constraints, and end-to-end data flow.
Familiarity with modern engineering workflows, including standard bug-tracking systems, GitHub, and AI-assisted development tools
Minimum Qualifications
7+ years of cross functional project management experience in a technical software development environment.
Strong knowledge of data governance best practices and data privacy standards.
