  • Lead the evaluation, selection, implementation, and long-term management of the organization's project management tool in partnership with Information Technology

  • Design and deliver training on project management practices and tool usage to support adoption and effective execution
  • Provide coaching and guidance to leaders and teams on project planning, prioritization, and delivery
  • Support organization-wide prioritization and capacity decision-making by providing visibility into workloads, dependencies, and sequencing
  • Establish and maintain clear project reporting mechanisms, including progress tracking, metrics, and dashboards, to provide visibility into timelines, risks, dependencies, and outcomes
  • Monitor the effectiveness of project management practices and make continuous improvements based on organizational needs and feedback
  • Serve as the organization's project management subject matter expert and trusted advisor
