  • Exposure to financial tracking, budgeting, or cost controls
  • Experience in cross-functional or matrixed organizations
  • PMP, CAPM, or similar certification (nice to have)

Key Traits for Success

  • Strong ability to navigate ambiguity and coordinate across stakeholders
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • Comfortable working between technical teams, vendors, and business stakeholders
