• Manage and elevate project risks, issues, and change requests related to data quality, migration schedules, and technical compatibility.
• Closely coordinate with developers, solution architects, QA, and vendors to align implementation activities and manage technical dependencies.
• Facilitate user acceptance testing (UAT), cutover planning, and post‑implementation support for technical deliverables.
• Ensure timely and accurate technical documentation, project reporting, and effective communication with both technical and business stakeholders.
• Support pre‑sales activities and contribute technical expertise in client proposals, workshops, and solution demonstrations.
• Drive continuous improvement of project management processes and tools, sharing technical learnings across the team and organization.

• 6+ years of experience managing complex IT and technology projects within Utilities or related sectors, with a strong record overseeing data migrations, system integrations, and product upgrades.
• Solid background in software delivery, systems integration, or consulting, with high proficiency across data platforms or utility infrastructure.
• Proven experience gathering and translating customer requirements into clear technical specifications and deliverables.
