• Coordinate meetings across workstreams and with client leadership, setting agendas, documenting outcomes, and tracking actions to closure.

Skills and Competencies:

• Familiarity with project management tools such as MS Project, Jira, Asana, or Smartsheet.


• Identifies problems before being asked and proposes options with a clear recommendation rather than presenting issues without direction.


• Absorbs new information quickly enough to apply it effectively in unfamiliar contexts.


• Manages upward and across with confidence, able to hold senior stakeholders accountable while preserving the relationship.


• Maintains attention to detail across every report, deck, and timeline produced.


• Remains composed under pressure and communicates with the presence that gives leadership confidence the project is in capable hands.
