• How infrastructure components support enterprise programs
• High‑level infrastructure knowledge is mandatory; financial services is a plus
• Experience in highly regulated environments (HIPAA, audits, compliance) is strongly preferred

The candidate must be able to translate "what teams do" into meaningful business understanding—not just repeat terminology.

• Communicate weekly to leaders regarding project/program portfolios
• Articulate status across ~13 initiatives (major projects + supporting efforts for other enterprise areas like Commonwealth and Stability)
• Identify risks early ("trending toward amber/red") and lift proactively
• Understand organizational priorities and guide leaders through decision‑making
• Operate as a strategic advisor who fully understands the portfolio

• Coach Scrum Masters on Agile delivery, executive‑level reporting, and communication
• Expert‑level Agile knowledge, including dashboards, roadmaps, Jira usage, and dependency management

The ideal candidate must:

• Communicate strategically and concisely with SVP‑level executives
• Confidently push back on senior leaders in a polished, respectful way
• Protect and advocate for their teams
• Clearly articulate issue‑resolution processes—not just outcomes
