- Conduct discovery workshops to define project scope, success metrics, and critical milestones.
- Apply hypothesis-driven problem-solving to break down complex challenges and structure actionable recommendations.
- Develop client-ready deliverables (decks, dashboards, progress reports) with clear insights and executive-level storytelling.
Operational Excellence & Reporting:
- Maintain real-time visibility into project health via Power BI dashboards, status reports, and risk/issue logs.
- Track productivity, capacity utilization, and engagement health across assigned projects.
- Lead PMO and steering committee reviews, presenting progress, risks, and mitigation plans.
- Optimize resource allocation (internal teams, vendors, contractors) to maximize efficiency and delivery quality.
Risk, Change & Continuous Improvement:
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks, ensuring timely escalation and resolution of blockers.
- Partner with Change Management teams to drive stakeholder adoption and readiness.
- Implement post-mortems and lessons learned to refine processes and improve future delivery.
- Champion best practices in project management and contribute to PMO knowledge sharing.

- Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
- Proven track record of delivering complex, high-impact projects on time and within budget.
