  • Evaluate current deployment workflows and advocate for "best-in-class" project management methodologies to improve team efficiency and delivery quality.
  • Lead the management of regional vendors, ensuring hardware procurement (hardware and engineering) stays on timeline and within the established budget. Review vendor performance, ensuring our external partners scale alongside our growth.
  • Take full responsibility for the financial health of assigned projects, including detailed tracking, reporting, and proactive risk mitigation.
