• Own end-to-end delivery across multiple concurrent, complex implementations — core conversions, digital banking launches, and multi-vendor integration programs. • Manage scope, schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder alignment without waiting for direction. You are the decision-maker in your projects. • Build and maintain RAID logs, project charters, go-live readiness assessments, and executive status reporting that are genuinely useful — not compliance artifacts. • Lead client-facing delivery conversations at all levels, from working sessions with technical teams to executive steering committees. • Escalate risks early and with a recommended path forward — not just a flag. • Partner with account management to protect client relationships during delivery complexity. • Use AI tools (Kiro, Claude, and others) as active parts of your daily workflow — for generating implementation plans, drafting client communications, analyzing project data, diagnosing issues, and producing status artifacts. • Participate actively in Project Firehorse: share what’s working, contribute to shared tooling and playbooks, and help the team move from manual coordination to automated delivery. • Identify manual, repetitive tasks in your own workflows and find ways to eliminate or automate them. Document and share what you build. • Contribute to the development of AI-assisted RAID logs, predictive go-live risk scoring, and automated deployment readiness frameworks. • Use Kiro and MCP integrations (Jira, Confluence, GitLab) to accelerate issue diagnosis, release tracking, and cross-team coordination.
