Skills • 5+ years of experience in strategy operations, program management, or cross-functional execution roles, preferably in a SaaS, edtech, or multi-product portfolio environment. • Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives, align diverse stakeholders, and drive clarity across complex projects. • Proven experience translating high-level strategic goals into operational plans and measurable outcomes. • Adept at building collaborative relationships across departments and influencing without direct authority. • Highly analytical and detail-oriented, with experience building reporting frameworks and executive-level dashboards.
