• Develop core program management documentation, including user scenarios and detailed business requirements,

• Address barriers through problem solving and coordination with stakeholders,

• Directly influence the definition and management of the strategic roadmaps for the Middle Mile network.

As an experienced project and Sr program manager, you will bring a depth of knowledge on sustainability design, project scope development, vendor & technical consultant management, stakeholder coordination, and project performance reporting.
