• Ensure all deliverables meet client objectives and quality standards.
• Manage project finances, including estimates, budgets, purchase orders, invoicing processes, and project profitability.
• Identify opportunities to grow existing client accounts and contribute to new business opportunities.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams and manage project workflows to ensure smooth and effective delivery.
• Proactively identify and resolve project or client challenges.
• Stay up to date with client sectors, industry developments, and market trends.
