Here's what will help you thrive in this role:

• Proven experience managing projects through the full project lifecycle.

• Strong skills in planning, reporting, budgeting, risk management, and stakeholder engagement.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and use sound judgement in a fast-paced environment.
