• Build and maintain project plans, timelines, milestones, and deliverables across multiple workstreams.
• Ensure processes and deliverables follow established scope, timelines, and decision frameworks that are measured against KPIs and success metrics.
• Coordinate cross-functional meetings, track action items, and ensure follow-through across teams and stakeholders.
• Monitor project progress, proactively identify risks or blockers, and elevate issues as needed to maintain momentum.
• Ensure alignment across internal stakeholders, leadership, and external partners regarding timelines, priorities, responsibilities, and deliverables.
• Support the development and distribution of briefing materials, status updates, presentations, and project communications.
• Maintain operational consistency across initiatives through effective documentation, workflows, tracking systems, and project management tools.
• Help identify operational gaps and recommend process improvements to improve coordination and execution efficiency.
• Manage competing priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced, evolving environment while maintaining attention to detail and high-quality execution.
• Build and refine operational systems (tracking tools, knowledge management, workflows) to improve coordination and visibility across teams.
• Facilitate clear communication and information flow so stakeholders have the context needed to make informed decisions.
• Capture insights and learnings from activations to inform future strategy, experimentation, and scaling efforts.
• Support budget tracking, resource coordination, and project reporting as needed.
