In executing your program, you will partner with internal and external stakeholders including business teams, public policy, trade legal and regulators to interpret and apply regulations to business processes.

You will drive alignment with project sponsors (leaders) and cross-functional stakeholders by providing near and long term considerations and impacts, and highlight recommended trade-offs and priorities. When confronted with discordant views, you will drive the best way forward and build consensus.

In making decisions, you will act quickly to balance risk and customer experience. You will test assumptions by getting feedback from the right input providers across the company and reviewing metrics and benchmarks. You will work with business intelligence engineers and technology teams to design, build and track key performance indicators and systems.

The Sr. PM will be responsible for communicating risks, proposals, regulatory updates and strategies to internal and external leaders and stakeholders in meetings and documents. Clear and compelling communication is critical to success in this role.
