• Collaborate with the Certification team to support development and execution of certification strategies in alignment with FAA and international regulatory authorities (e.g., EASA, CAAC).
• Manage workstreams, risks, and dependencies across multiple stakeholders, escalating issues and driving resolution to support on-time market entry and readiness.
• Track program health and readiness milestones: Maintain schedules, dashboards, and reporting structures to provide transparency into progress, KPIs, and blockers.
• Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders to align deliverables, track critical paths, and ensure readiness activities stay on plan.
• Contribute to refining Archer’s GTM and EIS playbook by capturing lessons learned and proposing process improvements for launch execution and operator onboarding.
• Prepare and deliver updates on program status, milestones, and risks to senior program leaders and executives as required.
