The role focuses on managing planning processes, maintaining Azure DevOps (ADO) planning tools, coordinating quarterly and annual planning cycles, tracking deliverables and milestones, improving governance processes, supporting stakeholder engagement, and driving adoption of planning frameworks. The position combines program management, Agile delivery, process improvement, change management, and stakeholder coordination to help leadership execute strategic priorities effectively.

- Coordinate planning cycle execution, including readiness activities, deliverable tracking, status reporting, and milestone management.
- Develop, maintain, and communicate planning processes, procedures, job aids, training materials, and supporting documentation.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for teams seeking guidance on planning processes, quarterly commitments, reporting expectations, and progress tracking.
- Identify opportunities to improve planning, governance, and reporting processes; develop recommendations and assist with implementation of approved enhancements.
- Facilitate stakeholder engagement activities, including workshops, communications, change management, and adoption support.
- Monitor planning deliverables, risks, dependencies, and action items to help ensure timely execution and visibility for leadership.

- 5+ years of experience in program management, strategic planning, PMO, Agile delivery, or related disciplines.
- Advanced working knowledge of Azure DevOps (ADO), including backlog management, queries, dashboards, reporting, and Wiki administration.
- Strong facilitation, communication, stakeholder management, and organizational skills.
