• Collaboration with wildfire leadership, operations, IT delivery, emergency response, and vendor partners
• Join a team in an exciting growth phase, where your ideas help define processes and standards

 

Your Role & Responsibilities

• Define and sustain the strategic vision for wildfire‑related technology capabilities
• Own, prioritize, and manage product backlogs across multiple concurrent initiatives

• Integrate data from external agencies, meteorological sources, and subscription-based risk platforms
• Operate within a hybrid Agile environment and help shape future agile maturity and practices
• Facilitate cross-functional alignment with wildfire leadership, operations, vegetation management, emergency response, and IT teams
• Lead through influence—no direct reports, but high accountability and visibility

• Comfortable working in hybrid Agile/Project environments; familiarity with Jira
• Strong vendor oversight experience: contracts, licensing, subscriptions, roadmaps
•  Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to influence outcomes across diverse teams
