• Supporting integration efforts with external infrastructure and fintech service providers, ensuring clear communication, sequencing, and accountability

• Establishing and maintaining program plans, milestones, and reporting using existing TPM frameworks, tools, and methodologies

• Identifying risks early and driving mitigation strategies to maintain delivery predictability across initiatives

• Supporting successful launches by ensuring operational readiness, cross-team alignment, and clear ownership throughout execution
