* Define and manage process and regular meetings
* Establish standard reports to provide concise and effective communications to key stakeholders on program status, issues/risks, and accomplishments
* Ensure problems are transparent and risks are identified and proactively ensure that risk mitigating actions are on-going within the engineering teams
* Set the agenda for key decisions to be made at each meeting to eliminate bottlenecks and retire risks
* Support key decisions working cross-functionally across engineering, finance, and strategy to reach the right conclusions

Qualifications
