@muendo
Experienced project and portfolio delivery manager optimizing cross-functional technical programs.
What I'm looking for
I am a project and program manager with 10+ years running parallel delivery across distributed, multi-stakeholder teams, focused on portfolio execution for identity, fraud, and risk-adjacent platforms. I synchronize roadmaps and releases, manage dependencies and risks with RAID discipline, and convert customer and operational signals into actionable backlog items.
At Logic Craft I owned a portfolio of 20+ concurrent initiatives and improved delivery timelines by ~40% through process standardization, governance tightening, and coaching distributed teams. I built delivery frameworks and reporting cadence adopted by 100+ team members, using templates, RAID logs, decision records, and weekly demos.
I have a track record of aligning 50+ stakeholder relationships across multi-country workstreams, balancing capacity across streams to protect critical path work, and enforcing quality gates for release readiness. My tools include Jira, Confluence, Asana, MS Project, Excel, Power BI, Slack, MS Teams, and Google Workspace.
I seek roles where fast-scaling, technically interconnected products require predictability and clear decision-making; I bring practical governance, cross-project coordination, and measurable improvements in delivery performance.
