• Track and improve vendor-driven reliability metrics (e.g., failure rates, MTTR, firmware stability).
• Ensure vendors meet SLAs, SLOs, and quality expectations.
• Own program task management and tracking, including structure, reporting, and hygiene of Jira workflows, dashboards, and filters.
• Conduct regular business reviews to drive visibility and accountability.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to use data to inform decisions and measure outcomes.
• Proven ability to drive complex, cross-functional initiatives with attention to detail and a bias for action.
