• Maintain high‑quality documentation: project plans, schedules, meeting minutes, stakeholder updates, and handover packs
• Ensure deliverables meet defined acceptance criteria and are operationally ready for go‑live
• Produce concise project dashboards and executive summaries highlighting delivery confidence, risks, dependencies, and key decisions
• Use project management tools such as Smartsheet and/or Odoo Projects for planning, tracking, and reporting
• Demonstrate working knowledge of Jira to collaborate with product/engineering teams (read boards, interpret epics/stories, track progress and dependencies)
• Support intake reviews and ensure projects follow PMO governance standards before major commitments or releases
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying recurring delivery friction points and proposing pragmatic process enhancements
