• Highly evolved EQ and ability to adapt to the needs of the program and current maturity of the teams
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted and agent-orchestrated workflows to accelerate planning, tracking, and communication across complex, multi-team programs with sound judgment about when automation helps vs. when human oversight is required
