- Partner with internal teams (Launch, IT, Startup, Engineering, Operations) and external vendors to set project priorities, establish milestones, and drive schedules to meet deadlines.
- Proactively assess configuration readiness, identify gaps or risks in advance of deployment timelines, and drive solutions to mitigate impact.
- Lead and coordinate execution efforts to validate that systems, equipment, and automated processes function per established standards and guidelines.
- Monitor and report on testing progress including significant milestones and conditions which would affect site launch cost or schedule.
- Solve ambiguous problems across multiple configurations and systems; develop scalable processes and mechanisms that improve readiness and reduce defects.
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with cross-functional stakeholders across multiple organizations to ensure alignment and timely handover.
- Identify and lead process improvement initiatives that optimize the team's efficiency, improve site readiness visibility, and raise the quality bar for launches.
- Travel up to 80% domestically; travel intensity can be variable and consist of up to three weeks in a row, including weekends.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of professional experience
