• Communicate project status, risks, decisions, timelines, and outcomes to stakeholders at various levels of the organization.
  
• Maintain accurate and complete project documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
  
• Support business process improvement and organizational change activities associated with technology implementations.
  
• Coordinate site visits and onsite project activities as required.

• Demonstrated success managing multiple simultaneous projects.
  
• Experience developing and managing project scope, schedules, budgets, resources, risks, issues, and deliverables.
