• Implement rigorous project controls including earned value management (EVM), cost control, risk management, and schedule variance analysis to monitor progress and identify areas for improvement
• Facilitate requirements gathering sessions with stakeholders to accurately capture project needs and translate them into actionable plans using business process modeling and process mapping techniques
• Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and Kaizen events to identify inefficiencies, implement Lean Six Sigma methodologies, and drive continuous process improvement initiatives
• Oversee project stakeholder communication by preparing comprehensive reports, presentations, and dashboards that clearly articulate project status, risks, and mitigation strategies
• Manage vendor relationships and contracts related to project controls activities while ensuring compliance with organizational standards and regulatory requirements
