·                Manage delivery risks, issues, and dependencies, escalating and resolving blockers with clear mitigation plans.

·                Run agile ceremonies or stage-gated governance as appropriate, tracking velocity, burn-down, and quality metrics.

·                Mentor project coordinators and team leads, and build delivery standards and reusable templates.

·                Strong command of delivery methodologies (Agile/Scrum, SAFe, or hybrid) and waterfall stage-gate governance.

·                Proficiency with planning and tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, MS Project) and reporting dashboards.

·                Demonstrated ability to manage vendor, offshore, and multi-team delivery, including budget and resource forecasting.

·                Strong risk, issue, and change management discipline, with clear written and verbal communication for executive audiences.

·                Familiarity with CI/CD release processes, environment management, and production cutover planning.
