• Facilitate communication and collaboration across different teams within a value stream to ensure smooth handoffs and coordinated delivery.
• Leading initiatives to implement changes and optimize processes within the value stream, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
• Support cross-functional product development teams to optimize their workflow and deliver value efficiently.
• May be tasked with Cost Account Management (CAM) responsibilities in support of IPT leadership tasks.
• Identify and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) related to value stream performance.
• Be a passionate learner who is big-picture, strategic, and can partner with Portfolio Directors and stakeholders on Strategy Execution (top-down) and Value Stream Optimization (across.)

The candidate shall be highly customer focused, meeting customer expectation and responsive to feedback.
