- Facilitate executive updates, working sessions, and steering committees with clarity and strategic thinking.
- Translate technical concepts into business-relevant outcomes.
Team & Delivery Leadership
- Foster team alignment and collaboration between technical, functional, and business stakeholders to ensure project execution and value realization.
- Address bottlenecks proactively, resolve cross-team issues, and maintain delivery momentum under evolving project and business conditions.
- Collaborate with client and internal teams to manage scope, resourcing, risks, and priorities.
Technical Fluency
- Maintain a clear understanding of enterprise architecture, platforms (AWS cloud, data, integration), automation tools, and delivery pipelines.
- Able to troubleshoot issues in collaboration with architects and engineers, and bring informed perspectives to technical discussions.
- Serve as a bridge between delivery execution and technical enablement, guiding decisions with both business and technical insight.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience in IT projects or delivery management within technology transformation environments.
- Experience leading multi-stream programs involving modernization, cloud migration, integration, and/or digital capabilities.
- Proven track record managing senior stakeholders and delivering enterprise-wide initiatives with measurable impact.
- Comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels — able to navigate high-level stakeholder conversations while getting hands-on when needed.
- Strong familiarity with agile delivery practices, Jira/Confluence, PMO methodologies, and enterprise IT environments.
- Prior experience in airline, travel, or transportation industries is highly desirable.
- Availability to work onsite at the client’s office 2–3 days per week.
Preferred Certifications

- Knowledge of modern application delivery (microservices, containerization).
- Experience working in the aviation industry (e.g., airlines and airport operations).
