• Ability to manage multiple priorities and perform under close deadlines.

• Ability to track progress against a plan, identify slippage early, and adjust to keep projects on schedule and budget.
• Ability to maintain a log of risks, issues, and decisions, escalate early, and drive items to closure.
• Ability to run working sessions, align Finance, Operations, and IT, and provide leadership with short, clear status updates.
• Process mindset, including documenting current workflows, identifying gaps and manual steps, and proposing practical fixes.
• Detail-oriented, self-motivated work style, including self-review and review of others' work to catch errors early.
