- Proactively identify risks and drive resolution
2. Cross-Team Alignment
- Bridge communication between English-speaking exec team and Chinese engineering teams
- Ensure requirements, decisions, and priorities are clearly understood across teams
- Align stakeholders on scope, timelines, and trade-offs
3. Accountability & Visibility
- Track progress across teams and ensure consistent delivery
- Flag delays, blockers, and misalignment early—with proposed solutions
- Provide clear, decision-oriented updates (not just status reporting)
4. Process & System Improvement
- Improve how work is tracked, communicated, and executed
- Introduce simple, scalable systems for project management and reporting
- Drive adoption of tools and workflows that increase speed and clarity
What Good Looks Like
- Projects move forward without constant follow-up

- 1–4+ years experience in IT project management / technical program management
- Experience working with distributed or cross-border teams
- Strong understanding of software development workflows
- Able to translate business requirements into technical execution
- Highly organized, proactive, and ownership-driven
How You Work
