• Adapt and apply the appropriate project management methodologies (e.g., Agile, Waterfall) to facilitate project success.

• Continuously look for ways to improve processes, workflows, and communications.

• Proactively manage stakeholder communication and ensure project documents are complete, current, and stored appropriately.

• Apply excellent verbal and written communication skills to accurately articulate project status and risks across teams up to an Executive-level audience.

• Be the liaison between the internal teams. Ensuring mind share and planning for a positive, low-friction collaboration.

• Assess the impact of priority changes, communicate those impacts, and keep the affected project plans up to date.

• Attend engineering refinement and planning meetings to clarify and vet acceptance criteria and requirements.

• Estimate the resources and participants needed to achieve project goals.

• Draft and submit budget proposals and recommend subsequent budget change
