Establish technical evaluation frameworks for build-vs-buy, modernization, deprecation, and platform investment decisions.

Program Delivery & Operating Model

Design and scale delivery models across large engineering and program management organizations.
Establish execution standards covering backlog readiness, dependency management, resource allocation, and cross-team coordination.
Drive continuous improvement in delivery predictability, software quality, and operational readiness.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Act as the strategic program owner connecting Merchandising, Allocation, Engineering, Data Science, Product Management, and business teams.
Identify and mitigate complex dependencies across forecasting engines, sizing systems, allocation platforms, and financial systems.
Establish enterprise-level data quality and integrity standards.

Incident & Reliability Leadership

Lead executive-level response to critical production incidents affecting global planning and allocation systems.
Drive root-cause analysis, post-mortems, and permanent remediation.
Establish and enforce reliability standards and SLAs for business-critical systems.

Executive Communication & Mentorship

Develop executive-level roadmaps, business cases, status reports, and technology investment recommendations.
Communicate complex technical and data-science concepts to senior business stakeholders.
Mentor Senior and Staff-level TPMs and program managers and help establish scalable program management practices.

Required Qualifications
