• Proactively manage profitability, resources, and project success of every engagement
• Ensure milestones are met by managing client and internal team
• Recognize and proactively seize opportunities for expanding client partnerships with new scopes of work
• Create plans for additional project needs that may fall outside the “typical” process. For example, extensive QA plans & execution, custom technology pieces, leadership of large content migration projects, and more

You Might Be The Right Person If:

• You face problems head-on and view them as opportunities.
