Drive operational visibility: Track project milestones, identify cross-team dependencies, and flag delivery risks early across infrastructure, monitoring, and capacity planning initiatives.
Unblock engineering teams: Protect SRE focus time by handling routine stakeholder meetings, project administration, and ticket follow-through.
Evolve internal workflows: Help establish flexible, pragmatic project tracking practices that fit our environment and the team frameworks.
Cross-functional project experience: 3+ years managing technical projects, program coordination, or customer delivery in software, cloud infrastructure, or DevOps environments.
Adaptive stakeholder management: Proven ability to balance the structured, formal expectations of corporate enterprise clients with the fluid, fast-moving environment of a scale-up.
Foundational technical literacy: Comfortable speaking the language of cloud infrastructure, web hosting, Linux, and containers to accurately convey project status without needing to make technical design decisions.
Pragmatic execution: Comfortable navigating ambiguity, establishing clarity from fragmented requests, and creating accountability without over-engineering processes.
