  • Track delivery progress, risks, and outcomes, and communicate status, insights, and recommendations to executive stakeholders.
  • Ensure reusable patterns, components, and delivery practices are captured and leveraged to accelerate future AI initiatives and reduce duplication.

  • Experience partnering with IT, security, and governance teams to ensure digital initiatives are both innovative and technically sound.
  • Experience leading digital initiatives using a mix of Agile, Scrum, product-oriented, and traditional delivery models, adapting approach based on risk, maturity, and stakeholder needs.
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience engaging executive leadership and translating technical concepts into business-relevant outcomes.
  • Preferred experience delivering digital, data, or AI-enabled solutions within the AEC industry, infrastructure, environmental, or professional services industries.
