  • Ensure compliance with organizational governance, project methodologies, and best practices.
  • Drive continuous improvement and promote adoption of new tools, processes, and technologies.

  • Comfortable working with diverse teams across business, operations, and IT functions.
  • Strong people management and team leadership skills.
  • Demonstrated experience engaging with and influencing C-level executives.
