• Strive to implement an automated and scalable gating mechanism to oversee non-PO teams.
• Drive mindful discussions to identify and develop strategies to influence non-PO stakeholders (finance, business, technology, and accounting teams) to self-manage and report risks.
• Collaborate across cross-functional teams (finance, business, technology, and accounting) to continuously improve the POE program.
• Implement execution mechanisms, including tracking goals, escalation, key program metrics, and forward-looking program needs.
