• Exceptional organizational and project management skills, including experience with tools such as Slack, Google suite, Asana, Wrike, or similar platforms.
• Proven ability to execute large-scale global events with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a collaborative mindset and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Expertise in budget management, contract negotiation and vendor coordination.
• Willingness to travel as required.
