Prior experience as an engineer, or a CS/technical degree, is a strong plus. - Proven track record shipping complex, cross-functional software programs on time, with multiple teams and competing priorities. - Exceptional organizational and communication skills — you write clearly, run a tight meeting, and keep large groups of people aligned. - Comfort with ambiguity and speed — you create structure where there is none and adapt as priorities evolve in a fast-growing startup. - Strong judgment on prioritization and risk — you know what matters most, what can wait, and what could derail a launch. - Experience with modern delivery tooling (e.g., GitHub, Linear/Jira, Notion) and an instinct for using process to enable, not bottleneck, the team. ## Nice to Have - Experience in AI/ML, data platforms, or B2B SaaS products. - Familiarity with the insurance, fintech, or enterprise software domains. - Experience standing up program-management practices at an early- or growth-stage company.
