  • Manage project financials, including budgets, forecasts, and financial requests, and monitor resource utilization throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Gather effort estimates, assess staffing needs, coordinate vendor engagement as required, and support vendor onboarding, performance monitoring, and offboarding activities.
  • Prepare and deliver executive-ready reporting, status updates, and project communications, and build strong working relationships with stakeholders across the organization through clear, consistent, and professional communication.
  • Perform other duties as assigned; duties, responsibilities, and/or activities may change at any time with or without notice.
