• Facilitate workshops and working sessions with Finance and business stakeholders.
• Track decisions, action items, and outstanding deliverables and ensure appropriate follow-through.
• Develop project dashboards, status reports, milestone reporting, and other project management materials.
• Monitor resource requirements, project deliverables, and key dependencies across workstreams.
• Escalate risks, issues, and project blockers to Program Leadership in a timely manner.
• Support change management activities, including stakeholder communications, training coordination, and organizational readiness.
• Maintain project documentation and ensure appropriate governance and project-management standards are followed.
• Build strong working relationships across Finance, Technology, Transformation, and business teams.

Required Qualifications:

• 6 years of Project Management, PMO, Finance Transformation, or business transformation experience.
• Experience supporting complex, cross-functional projects within a large corporate or consulting environment.
