- Coordinate across multiple stakeholders (IT, security, facilities, construction, vendors, and site leadership) to align expectations and remove roadblocks.
- Facilitate recurring status meetings, stand-ups, and working sessions with internal teams and vendors to ensure progress and accountability.
- Oversee vendor-delivered work, including implementation timelines, quality of deliverables, and alignment to program standards.
- Ensure accurate documentation of project decisions, changes, and status, providing clear, concise updates to leadership and stakeholders.
