• Experience coordinating SMEs, consultants, researchers, or other specialized professionals.
• Ability to translate statements of work and contract requirements into practical delivery plans.

• Experience managing external experts across multiple time zones.

• PMP, CAPM, PRINCE2, or a comparable project management credential.

What Success Looks Like

• Every project has a clear plan, accountable owners, and current deadlines.
• SMEs understand their assignments and deliver work on schedule.
• Clients receive timely communication and know what happens next.
