You will manage short- and long-term goals defined in our roadmaps while coordinating multiple objectives across Allen Media Group subsidiaries, particularly those leveraging the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The ideal candidate balances team-level motivation with strict project governance, proactively raising red flags regarding budgets, timelines, and legal/security risks to executive stakeholders before they impact delivery.
