• Partner closely with the Office of the CDO to ensure DET-wide initiatives like employee surveys, time tracking, budgeting, hackathons, and cross-pillar program management are well connected with other leads.
• Lead cross-functional program management efforts for initiatives across Emerging Technology, with a strong focus on execution, risk mitigation, and communication.
• Drive alignment and collaboration across DET, Engineering, Product Management, Data, and Employee Success teams.
• Build and manage operating rhythms (e.g., leadership meetings, business reviews, strategy offsites) that support transparency and accountability.
• Act as a trusted liaison with senior leaders and their teams, ensuring clarity of goals, alignment of resources, and timely delivery of outcomes.
• Develop and maintain dashboards, reports, and other tools to track progress on key deliverables and strategic goals.
• Own and continually improve internal processes, documentation, and knowledge-sharing across the team.
• Support change management efforts for high-impact initiatives, working closely with communication, ES, and operations stakeholders.
• Lead with empathy, structure, and a growth mindset - helping shape a high-performance, low-ego culture.

• A Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Business, Engineering, Communications) or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in program management, business operations, or a Chief of Staff role within a technology-driven organization.
• Exceptional organizational and project management skills - you know how to manage complexity, prioritize effectively, and keep teams focused.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft clear messaging for a variety of stakeholders and audiences.
• A proven ability to partner with senior executives and cross-functional stakeholders, including engineering, product, HR, and operations teams.
