Lead complex cross-functional initiatives from strategy through execution, driving alignment, accountability, and measurable outcomes.
Build and own complex datasets, forecasting models, and scenario planning to identify trends, risks, and opportunities that inform workforce strategy.
Collaborate with engineering and product teams to define and prioritize labor tooling roadmaps and requirements.
Develop executive-level briefings and dashboards that turn business signals into clear recommendations and decision frameworks for senior leadership.
5+ years of program management experience, ideally in fast-paced or high-growth environments.
Proven experience driving multiple, complex programs with measurable business impact.
Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to build relationships, resolve conflicts, and drive alignment across cross-functional teams and leadership.
Drives clarity in ambiguous, complex environments by rapidly synthesizing information, aligning stakeholders, and resolving conflicts to maintain momentum across cross-functional initiatives.
Strong background in analytics and data-driven problem-solving, with a history of leveraging datasets, metrics, and models to inform strategic decisions.

8+ years of program management experience, including 2+ years in Labor Planning, Workplace Planning, or Business Intelligence.
Experience operating in engineering environments, with an understanding of technical dependencies, development lifecycles, and cross-functional execution teams, translating technical requirements into effective resourcing, workplace strategy, and operational plans for hardware programs.
Extensive expertise in analytics and data-driven strategy, with a proven track record of translating complex, multi-source datasets into actionable insights that drive high-impact business decisions.
Proficiency with data visualization and business intelligence tools for analysis and reporting.
