• Own cross-functional processes end-to-end  establishing and maintaining operational cadences (cost reviews, vendor governance, planning cycles, status updates), identifying gaps, chasing dependencies, escalating blockers, and creating structure in ambiguous areas rather than waiting for direction
• Serve as an operational interface between the Tech organization and internal stakeholders -  translating complex technical and financial topics into clear, concise communications, and preparing executive-level status updates, risk summaries, and decision documents

• Experience managing vendor contracts and commercial negotiations
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English, including the ability to communicate clearly to senior leadership
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and building structure where none exists
