• Facilitate communication and collaboration across different teams within a value stream to ensure smooth handoffs and coordinated delivery.

• Leading initiatives to implement changes and optimize processes within the value stream, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

• Support cross-functional product development teams to optimize their workflow and deliver value efficiently.

• May be tasked with Cost Account Management (CAM) responsibilities in support of IPT leadership tasks.

• Identify and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) related to value stream performance.

• Be a passionate learner who is big-picture, strategic, and can partner with Portfolio Directors and stakeholders on Strategy Execution (top-down) and Value Stream Optimization (across.)

The candidate shall be highly customer focused, meeting customer expectation and responsive to feedback. The ideal candidate will have experience in both IT and in leading complex business facing programs with the ability to drive technology adoption within BAE Systems business sectors. The candidate shall leverage servant leadership, emotional intelligence, strong communication and decision making skills to navigate effectively across all functional areas and organizational levels.
