• Demonstrate strong ownership by proactively identifying risks, removing blockers, and driving accountability across teams

• Manage scope changes and ensure proper communication and alignment

Process Improvement & Operational Excellence

• Drive continuous improvement within the PMO, including tools, templates, and reporting practices

• Adapt project management practices to support highly collaborative and non-linear workflows

• Support standardization of AI project delivery approaches

• Lead process transformation initiatives, including automation and AI-driven enhancements.
