- Demonstrated experience managing software, data, or systems implementation projects involving cross-functional technical teams.
- Proven ability to anticipate risks, resolve complex technical issues, and mitigate project constraints independently.
- Strong working knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and common project management methodologies, including Agile, Kanban, and Waterfall.
- Advanced ability to manage dependencies, review work artifacts, and maintain quality standards across project lifecycles.
- Excellent technical written and verbal communication skills with high attention to detail and an ability to balance competing priorities.
Preferred Qualifications:
- A master's degree in engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field.
