• Strong working knowledge of project management tools; Smartsheets proficiency preferred (Asana, Wrike, or similar acceptable)
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent programs across different timelines without losing grip on the details
• Clear, direct communicator who writes concise updates, runs efficient meetings, and drives decisions
