  • Drive portfolio visibility through meaningful metrics, dashboards, and operating reviews focused on outcomes, delivery predictability, risk management, and leadership decision-making.
  • Lead cross-functional planning and execution of complex strategic programs, ensuring alignment with customer needs, product strategy, and business priorities.
  • Identify systemic barriers to execution and partner with leaders across Product, Engineering, Quality, Regulatory, Operations, Service, and Commercial functions to implement sustainable improvements.
  • Facilitate resolution and escalation of complex issues, resource constraints, competing priorities, and cross-functional dependencies.
  • Champion Lean, Agile, SAFe, and continuous improvement principles to improve organizational effectiveness and eliminate activities that do not create customer or business value.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership regarding portfolio health, execution risks, organizational constraints, and opportunities to improve delivery performance.
  • Create transparency and alignment across all levels of the organization, ensuring teams understand priorities, commitments, decisions, and changes impacting execution.
  • Build strong partnerships across Product, Engineering, Quality, Regulatory, Operations, Service, and Commercial functions to drive customer and business outcomes.

  • Experience modernizing traditional program management organizations into product- and value-oriented operating models.
  • Demonstrated success using portfolio, flow, and delivery metrics to improve organizational performance and business outcomes.
  • Experience supporting healthcare IT, medical imaging, enterprise imaging, cloud-based software platforms, or complex enterprise software ecosystems.
  • Strategic leader with a hands-on approach to execution who can establish long-term direction while remaining close enough to the work to remove barriers and enable success.
  • Proven ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments, drive alignment among diverse stakeholders, and foster a culture of accountability, transparency, continuous improvement, and customer focus.
