• Identify, assess, and manage risks while developing mitigation strategies to keep projects on track.
• Monitor key metrics, manage scope changes, and communicate progress and blockers to senior leadership.
• Champion agile best practices while also adapting to hybrid or waterfall approaches where necessary.
• Cultivate a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement across your teams.
