You will act as an enabler across teams, helping product owners, IT teams, engineering groups, security stakeholders, and other project managers stay aligned through structured governance, clear migration tracking, KPI-based reporting, and transparent board management.

- Develop KPI-driven reporting to provide transparency into migration progress, delivery health, risks, issues, and upcoming milestones.
- Establish and maintain a single source of truth for project status, migration progress, dependencies, risks, decisions, and stakeholder actions.
- Drive structured governance routines, including status meetings, follow-up sessions, migration readiness reviews, dependency reviews, risk reviews, and executive updates.
- Track and manage risks, issues, dependencies, decisions, and action items across multiple parallel migration workstreams.
- Support transition, cutover, and stabilization planning,
ensuring teams are prepared for migration execution and post-migration support.
