• Adapt and apply the appropriate project management methodologies (e.g., Agile, Waterfall) to facilitate project success. 

• Continuously look for ways to improve processes, workflows, and communications. 

• Proactively manage stakeholder communication and ensure project documents are complete, current, and stored appropriately. 

• Apply excellent verbal and written communication skills to accurately articulate project status and risks across teams up to an Executive-level audience. 

• Be the liaison between the internal teams. Ensuring mind share and planning for a positive, low-friction collaboration. 

• Assess the impact of priority changes, communicate those impacts, and keep the affected project plans up to date. 

• Attend engineering refinement and planning meetings to clarify and vet acceptance criteria and requirements. 

• Estimate the resources and participants needed to achieve project goals.
