• Facilitate retrospectives that allow the team to reflect and continuously improve on their collaboration and delivery practices monthly (at minimum)
• Identify delivery inefficiencies and help teams improve workflows, decision‑making, and execution rhythms
• Mentor other Project Managers, and contribute to org‑wide delivery best practices as needed
• Contribute to continuous improvement of PMO standards, templates, and delivery practices
• Build strong working relationships across technical and business functions
