Project Oversight: Guarantee that all deliverables meet established technical and operational requirements, ensuring end-to-end delivery success.
Issue & Risk Management: Proactively track and resolve program-level blockers, both technical and administrative, and manage project risks.
Enabler Identification: Identify missing project enablers and escalate internally to unblock delivery or alignment with program goals.
Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination: Interface with internal engineering teams and external partners/suppliers to align on technical requirements, timelines, and contractual commitments.
