What We’re Looking For • Experience: 5+ years in operations, program management, or delivery management, with a track record of improving process efficiency in a services/tech environment. • Hybrid/Remote Execution: Demonstrated ability to lead distributed teams and coordinate across multiple locations/time zones. • Project & Program Management: Proficiency with project management methodologies (Agile/Waterfall), with hands-on experience leading multi-workstream programs. • Data-Driven: Strong analytical skills; comfortable creating and interpreting dashboards, extracting insights, and making data-backed decisions. • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills; able to influence without direct authority. • Tool Proficiency: Experience with PM tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Trello), data visualization (Tableau/Power BI), and CRM/ERP integrations; comfort with an HRIS/ATS ecosystem if applicable. • Process Orientation: Ability to design scalable processes, reduce waste, and drive consistency across teams. • Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Comfortable navigating ambiguity, prioritizing under pressure, and adjusting plans as needed.
