• Experience managing portfolio reporting, including executive dashboards, status reporting, and RAID management frameworks.

• Familiarity with Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery methodologies, with the ability to tailor approaches based on project and organizational needs.

• Hands-on experience leveraging automation and AI-enabled features within project management tools to improve efficiency and insights.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate data into actionable insights for senior leadership.  

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical information into actionable insights.

• Proven experience implementing processes, driving change, and managing cross-functional execution.

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
