  • Create and distribute weekly status reports and executive communications, including proactive risk identification and mitigation
  • Facilitate weekly coordination meetings with workstream leads, product teams, and leadership, along with additional planning sessions as needed
  • Identify interrelated dependencies and risks across workstreams, driving mitigation plans and escalating roadblocks when necessary
  • Balance competing priorities while leading teams through ambiguity to ensure successful outcome delivery
  • Build strong relationships through influence, collaboration, motivation, and leadership presence
  • Perform additional duties or support special initiatives as required

  • Strong executive presence with the ability to communicate effectively at all levels of an organization
  • Excellent leadership, communication, presentation, facilitation, planning, and decision-making skills

  • Advanced proficiency with standard PC tools
  • Demonstrated ability to assess organizational culture and adapt delivery approach accordingly
  • Project Management Professional (PMP) certification preferred


Why This Role

  • High-visibility opportunity supporting a mission-critical enterprise initiative
