• Proven ability to manage scope, quality, dependencies and contractors on medium- to large-scale projects.
• Experience managing interdependent workstreams and aligning resources, milestones and business priorities.
• Strong leadership skills, including resource planning, cross-functional team coordination and building accountability for delivery.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, negotiation and problem-solving skills.

  • Provide regular stakeholder updates on progress, milestones, dependencies and key decisions.
• Risk and Issue Management:
  
  • Identify and manage project risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies, with clear owners and mitigation plans.
  • Resolve delivery blockers, escalate decisions promptly and develop contingency plans to protect project outcomes.
• Team Leadership and Coordination:
  
  • Lead cross-functional project teams, coordinating internal resources, external specialists and vendors.
  • Establish clear responsibilities, resource plans and delivery expectations with team members and partners.
  • Promote a collaborative, accountable culture focused on problem-solving, delivery and continuous improvement.
