Help Influence the pace/rate at which research is addressed by engineering teams by assisting ATG leaders in facilitating effective decision-making, determining the proper course of action, and tracking progress of BG project deliverables.
Proactively identify and manage BG enablement project deliverables, risks, dependencies, and constraints, and propose mitigation strategies
Partner with Technology/Research teams and product teams to address roadblocks ATG teams encounter in their efforts to conduct research and transfer technology into BG.
Take a portfolio view of all plans to prioritize activities, optimize outcomes and accelerate research technology delivery. Communicate program status on a regular basis.
Develop a deep understanding of Dolby s technologies and processes to see where you can influence changes that benefit the business. Partner with BG program management counterparts to address gaps in the delivery process and work to eliminate them.
Champion the adoption of ATG s enablement workflow and actively address training or implementation gaps.
Help drive standardization where, solving once yields benefits across the landscape: e.g., technology transfers, problem management, standardization of processes and tools, etc. A strong preference to do the lightest-weight changes possible (even if they add up to something big at the end).
