- Experience leading a hybrid team across at least two sites or working models, with documented experience in calibration cycles, difficult feedback, low-performer management, and parental-leave return.

- Increase on-time and on-budget delivery to at least 90% across all enterprise programs, measured in Forecast against committed scope and budget per program.
- Reduce budget-burn surprises, defined as programs flagged red without a prior amber state, to under 10% of the portfolio per quarter.
- Establish a quarterly project management office review with the Leadership team covering portfolio health, capacity utilization, project-manager-led pre-sales, and methodology evolution.
- Coach at least two Senior Project Managers into an L5 individual-contributor progression path as Program Directors.
- Build the project-management-side relationship with the AUTOMATE Practice for artificial intelligence agent program governance and agentic delivery cadence.
