  • Communicate progress, tradeoffs, and key decisions clearly to stakeholders at all levels — including executive and external stakeholders

  • Partner closely with Engineering Leads and the VP Engineering to shape org-wide processes, from planning cadences to delivery reporting

  • Contribute to hiring efforts and help onboard and scale the EPM function


REQUIREMENTS

  • Experience driving engineering execution in high-growth or complex environments (scale-ups, enterprise platforms, etc.)

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; you tailor your message to technical and non-technical audiences
