• Produce real-time dashboards and reporting tools for project tracking, stakeholder visibility, and executive decision-making.
• Collaborate closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders to maintain strong alignment across teams.

What you'll bring:

• Proven experience delivering complex technical projects in AI-focused or tech-driven environments.
• Advanced skills in Jira administration, including configuration, custom workflows, dashboards and reporting.
• Demonstrated success in managing multi-disciplinary teams and balancing competing priorities under pressure.
• Clear understanding of AI development cycles and familiarity with data, ML, or engineering workflows.
• Experience working within fast-paced, agile environments – ideally in start-ups or scale-ups.
• Domain experience in healthcare, energy, or sustainability is highly advantageous.
