• Own financial management for initiatives, including budget planning, forecasting, vendor spend, and reconciliation across teams.
• Act as the primary delivery interface for Technology leadership, providing clear, tailored communication to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Partner with Business and Operations teams to ensure technology solutions are production‑ready, scalable, and support end‑to‑end client and employee journeys.
• Demonstrate strong ownership and accountability, resolving delivery issues decisively and adapting plans as portfolio priorities, funding, or technology direction evolves.

• Typically 7+ years of relevant experience and/or certification in related field of study or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Project management experience – 6 to 8 years.
• Proven Tech PM experience delivering large, complex technology initiatives in enterprise environments
