We need someone who manages a plan schedule and org capacity, and who clearly documents success criteria and post-launch measurement requirements. This is a key role on a high-performing team, and it will be highly visible across both North American and European orgs.

　　With stakeholders across Live Nation Entertainment’s business, and with such broad ownership of critical data assets and platforms, we need highly technical program managers–you!–who will own planning, unblocking, and accelerating our critical data deliveries.

　　CORE RESPONSIBILITIES:

　　Drive cross-functional programs to optimize performance, cost, and reliability of high performance data systems.

　　Track up and downstream dependencies for each data movement as per each project’s unique architecture.

　　Define and execute programs delivering data as a product, including writing formal documentation such as project charters or program narratives to enable large, distributed, worldwide systems while meeting stringent privacy and compliance requirements.

　　Work with Product to manage requirements, then organize technical efforts.

　　Work with Engineering and Data Architects to get workable timeline estimates.

　　Take large, complex projects, break them into manageable pieces, and deliver timely results.

　　Coordinate project intake, estimation, and prioritization.

　　DESIRED EXPERIENCE:

　　Demonstrable track record of delivering complex data infrastructure, orchestrations, and reporting tools while managing multiple priorities.

　　Strong proficiency in project management tools such as Jira, Asana, and Smartsheet.

　　Full competency in multiple project management methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and Waterfall.

　　Basic proficiency in data management and storage systems such as Databricks, Snowflake, and Teradata.

　　Ability to write your own queries, test API endpoints, and build dashboards.

　　Ability to understand the big picture of the project design and anticipate dependencies.

　　Ability to regularly engage with senior stakeholders and influence across the organization without formal authority, especially when negotiating to resolve conflict smoothly to keep programs on track.

　　Ability to innovate to deliver the originally scoped value while simplifying the initial scope assumptions within the iron triangle.
