- Own executive communications such as program narratives, reviews, dashboards, and status updates for senior stakeholders.
- Track program health, maintain risk registers, and drive action plans to keep initiatives moving forward.
- Build alignment across engineering, operations, finance, security, and leadership teams without relying on direct authority.
- Identify process improvements that increase predictability, reduce complexity, and improve delivery outcomes.
- Mentor peers and help strengthen how the team manages and scales programs.

- Background in power, cooling, or other infrastructure systems such as UPS, PDU, ATS, or HVAC.
