- Track progress, dependencies, and timelines for a workstream operating inside a larger program
- Surface risks and blockers early and work with technical leads to resolve them
- Keep stakeholders aligned on status, decisions, and tradeoffs throughout rollout and V2 planning
- Report progress clearly to program leadership and the client
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Comfort working in environments where an MVP is live and the focus is shifting to rollout and next-phase definition
- Experience scaling a team, including planning for and onboarding new engineers
- Familiarity with AWS
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to translate technical detail for non-technical audiences
- A clear communicator who can coordinate across technical and business teams without losing precision
