• Maintain and continuously improve project tracking tools to ensure visibility, alignment, and accountability across stages.
• Prepare and organize inputs for portfolio review, demand planning, and launch excellence meetings. Track key performance indicators (KPIs), milestone completions, and project tiering criteria.
• Document and continuously improve workflows and handoffs across the product lifecycle from idea to in-market.
• Serve as a central point of contact for project stakeholders across departments and business units.
• Develop clear project briefs, presentations, and summary reports for leadership.
• Own the documentation process for approvals, packaging, and compliance readiness.

• Experience in a regulated industry such as cannabis, pharma, alcohol, or CPG strongly preferred.
