Responsibilities
Build and own integrated plans covering what, how, when and dependencies for every function involved. Set up and run a lightweight "way we work" per initiative including kickoff, weekly cross-functional syncs, weekly status reports, monthly steering reviews and post-launch retrospectives. Track progress against plan, maintain the RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, decisions) and remove blockers. Surface critical dependencies early: licenses, regulatory approvals, banking and liquidity partners, compliance requirements. Make scope, timeline and effort trade-offs visible early and bring options to the right owner for a decision. Own the readiness checklist and go/no-go process across all functions, from planning to launch. Lead post-launch KPI reviews at 3 and 6 months.
