• Strong organizational skills with excellent attention to detail and follow-through
• Ability to synthesize complex information into clear status updates, action items, decisions, and next steps
• Strong communication and meeting-facilitation skills
• Ability to work independently, take direction, and proactively identify what needs to happen next

• Experience with another large-scale SaaS or enterprise software implementation
• Familiarity with implementation activities such as design, configuration, integrations, data conversion, testing, training, cutover, or stabilization
• Exposure to HR, payroll, finance, or other enterprise business processes
• Experience using Monday.com and/or SharePoint for project management and collaboration

The successful candidate will be someone who enjoys getting into the details, keeping information organized, following up on commitments, and making sure issues don't get lost. You'll receive direction and support from project leadership while being trusted to take initiative and own the day-to-day mechanics of the project.
