• Stakeholder Coordination – Serve as the primary point of contact for cross-departmental collaboration, bringing together subject matter experts, decision-makers, and other stakeholders as needed to address challenges.
• Optimize Resource Allocation – Assess resource needs, adjust priorities, and ensure efficient allocation of team members and tools across multiple projects.
• Monitor and Report Progress – Track project timelines, milestones, budgets, and overall status, providing regular, accurate updates through project health reports and meetings.
