• Communicate clearly and confidently across engineering, product, and executive audiences.

• Identify and implement tools, workflows, or process improvements that increase delivery speed and clarity

• 10+ of experience with 8-10 years specific to PMO experience, including ownership of complex, multi-team initiatives

• Strong technical fluency and deep understanding of the product development lifecycle, technical dependencies, and risk management, enabling credible contribution to engineering conversations

• Domain experience in Ads products at marketplaces, e-commerce, or high-scale consumer platforms is strongly preferred

• Experience driving execution across distributed teams. Trusted cross-functional partner who can influence without authority by keeping teams aligned, informed, and unblocked

• Strong communicator and facilitator; comfortable navigating ambiguity and influencing decisions.
