Are you a senior project, program, or product manager looking for your next challenge to perfect the art of orchestrating reliable delivery of value to the customer?
I’m helping a colleague search for a great hire in the Silicon Valley/East Bay, CA area. I believe the perfect candidate will be
- a continuous learner with a variety of experiences and expertise both doing and improving project and program management,
- will demonstrate incredible personal ownership with appropriate parts flexibility and unwavering honesty and clarity,
- is a first-rate collaborator, team builder, and coach, and
- should be experienced with both traditional and modern (i.e., agile, lean) approaches to reliable delivery.
It would be a huge plus if you practice Responsibility Redefined™ and have studied Knowledge Team Leadership.
