• Coordinate execution across onshore/offshore teams and vendors
Metrics, Transparency & Governance

• Partner with Product Owner and RTE on delivery visibility and governance
Stakeholder Communication & Team Enablement
• Act as a key delivery contact for Product Owners, leadership, and partner teams
• Communicate risks, status, and blockers clearly and professionally

• Proven ability to manage cross-team and external dependencies
• Strong facilitation, communication, and conflict-resolution skills
