Key Responsibilities
Program Leadership & Execution
- Own and maintain the overall integrated PSX IT Integration project plan, including milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, and actions.
- Coordinate multiple technical and functional IT workstreams to ensure execution remains aligned with the overall integration strategy and timeline.

- Establish clear ownership and accountability for deliverables, actions, and decisions across workstreams.
- Identify critical cross-workstream dependencies and facilitate timely resolution of blockers.
Program Governance
- Lead weekly PSX Integration program meetings with IT workstream leads.
- Ensure meetings result in clearly documented status updates, actions, owners, decisions, and due dates.
- Maintain accurate and current RAID management covering risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies, actions, and decisions.
- Organize and facilitate ad-hoc escalation or issue-resolution meetings when critical blockers or cross-functional dependencies arise.
