You will operate with real independence, determining the best path to the objective while partnering closely with business sponsors, technical teams, vendors, and Micron leadership.

Project Planning - Establish project governance, including sponsors, core team, and extended project team, and drive effective kickoff activities. - Facilitate business and technical requirements gathering across functional and technical stakeholder groups. - Establish and maintain project management artifacts, ensuring a well-governed and transparent tracking of project progress, risks, and dependencies - Forecast project spend, SOWs, and POs, and support financial planning and budget tracking throughout the lifecycle. - Support executive reviews and stage-gate approvals with decision-ready materials, not just status updates. Project Execution & Closure - Manage project scope, quality, schedule, and deliverables, adapting the plan as new information emerges. - Track development, SOE, and UAT milestones, and translate progress into clear, decision-ready status for leadership. - Proactively manage risks, issues, and escalations by bringing recommendations and options, not just problems. - Provide consistent and accurate status reporting to PMO and leadership teams. - Facilitate lessons learned and drive formal project closure and approval. Leadership and PMO Excellence - Lead cross-functional project teams and build shared alignment around the project vision. - Resolve conflicts constructively and manage resource allocation across the project team. - Provide mentorship to less experienced team members and contribute to continuous improvement in PMO process efficiency. - Actively adopt AI-enabled tools and workflows to improve planning, reporting, and delivery efficiency. Qualifications & Skills: - 5+ years of Project Management experience, including ownership of medium-to-complex, cross-functional projects. - Demonstrated ability to work independently under project or sub-function objectives, determining the best method to deliver rather than requiring step-by-step direction. - Working knowledge of Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall methodologies, applied to fit the project context. - Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to produce decision-ready updates for sponsors and leadership. - Strong change management capabilities and experience facilitating stakeholder alignment without formal authority. - Familiarity with AI-enabled productivity, reporting, or analytics tools applied to project or portfolio management. - Experience mentoring junior project team members - Inclusive, collaborative, and comfortable engaging with technical, non-technical, vendor, and leadership teams. Preferred Qualifications: - PMP certification. - Experience managing enterprise-wide, cross-functional programs spanning multiple sites or geographies.
