• Drive Agile/software development initiatives while maintaining visibility into engineering deliverables, blockers, dependencies, and priorities.
• Support AI enablement and GenAI-related initiatives across the technology organization.
• Work with engineering teams adopting modern AI tools and development practices, potentially including Claude/Anthropic, Copilot, Cursor, LLMs, and AI agents.
• Translate between technical engineering teams and business/product stakeholders without requiring engineers to simplify every technical discussion.
• Manage cross-functional dependencies across software development, infrastructure/cloud, security, product, and business teams.
• Identify risks and roadblocks early and drive issues through resolution.

• Exposure to Claude/Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT/OpenAI, agentic AI, or similar modern AI technologies is a major plus.
• Experience delivering SaaS, cloud-based, API-driven, or modern enterprise applications.
• Comfortable interacting with developers, architects, DevOps engineers, Product Owners, engineering managers, and senior technology executives.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills are essential.
• Able to operate independently and drive delivery without becoming overly process/ceremony focused.
