Executive Reporting & Data Storytelling: Design and build executive-ready presentations, performance dashboards, and business updates using PowerPoint, Power BI, and Excel to support data-driven decision-making.

Portfolio & Capacity Oversight: Oversee resource allocation, capacity planning, financial transparency, and workforce optimization to ensure engineering bandwidth aligns with strategic business goals.

Process Optimization & Continuous Improvement: Identify operational bottlenecks and inefficiencies, leveraging Lean/Agile methodologies to optimize Jira workflows and improve team predictability and throughput.

Qualifications
Must-Have Requirements:
- Education: Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in Business, Technology, Engineering, or a related discipline.
