Lead planning and execution using agile practices: coordinate cross-functional teams, timelines, and dependencies; manage risk, scope, and trade‑offs across multiple concurrent initiatives.
Establish and operationalize KPIs for business, customer, product, and teams—track performance, communicate status, and drive course corrections with data.
Ensure quality, adoption, and continuous improvement of solutions through testing, validation, stakeholder feedback, and iteration; connect solution changes to organizational change management needs.
Support business development by shaping solution narratives, contributing to proposals, and participating in client pitches to showcase phData’s capabilities and approach.
