Lead and facilitate Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), translating delivery performance into business impact narratives.

Team Management:
Serve as the first point of escalation for the ALT — resolving blockers, making calls on scope and risk that exceed the PjM's authority, and escalating further to MgS leadership when required.
Oversee delivery performance across squads through the ALT — setting standards, reviewing health signals, and intervening when escalation is required.
Set the standard for delivery risk management across squads, supporting the ALT team in identifying, tracking, and mitigating risks — stepping in directly when resolution requires senior intervention or escalation beyond the PjM's authority..
Monitor squad capacity, resource allocation, and workload balance across active engagements.
Define and enforce delivery standards and methodology expectations across squads; the ALT is accountable for execution within those guardrails.
Take ownership of new client onboarding, leading the structured transition from project delivery into the Managed Services model — ensuring continuity, setting expectations, and establishing the operating rhythm from day one.
Foster a positive, high-performance team culture — actively monitoring and acting on eNPS signals.

GCP familiarity preferred. Must evaluate technical trade-offs and speak credibly with engineers at all levels.
For Project Management and experience, strong working knowledge of Project Management, Product Management methodologies (discovery, roadmapping, backlog management) and Experience Design deliverables (research, UX, visual design, design systems).
