-
Cross-Functional Coordination: Drive projects involving stakeholders at all levels of the organization, ensuring resource identification and alignment across disparate business and technology teams.
-
Executive Strategic Support: Support the CTO directly by developing high-impact PowerPoint decks, managing complex scheduling, and overseeing logistics to optimize executive efficiency.
-
Risk & Change Management: Proactively identify project impediments and design mitigation strategies. Manage project scope, budgets, and timelines with a focus on performance and reliability.
-
Communication & Reporting: Serve as the primary bridge between technical teams and the executive suite, delivering clear, data-driven reporting on project health and milestones.
-
Accountability & Standards: Enforce high engineering and project standards, ensuring that every initiative is measured against clear metrics and delivered with meticulous attention to detail.
Requirements & Qualifications: To excel in this role, you should possess:
-
Experience: 10+ years of professional experience delivering programs/projects within IT in a very fast-paced, high-growth environment.
-
Education: B.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience).

-
Technical Proficiency: High-level understanding of technical ecosystems, specifically within e-commerce, order management, or supply chain technology.
-
Tooling Expertise: Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, Excel, and PowerPoint for tracking and presentation.
-
Executive Presence: Proven ability to build partnerships and trust with key leaders and communicate effectively with all levels of an organization.
