- Serve as the primary operational point of contact, building and maintaining a trusted relationship with the client.
- Lead and motivate the team, fostering a high-performance environment.
- Manage the project with a Lean Leadership mindset, independently running the PDCA cycle based on internal and external metrics to ensure continuous improvement and tangible client-facing impact.
- Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks. Resolve obstacles that arise during execution to maintain project momentum.
- Act proactively to evaluate and drive value generation.
- Identify improvement opportunities and provide feedback to both the offerings governance team and the related product team.
- Monitor progress against the plan, manage the budget (if applicable), and ensure proficiency in management tools (Jira, Azure, etc.).
