ABOUT THE ROLE

Gather and analyze metrics to identify areas for improvement and track the impact of new initiatives. Maintain a clear picture of program or process health that can be communicated to stakeholders.

• Project Coordination: Define project scope and track changes. Identify, document, and monitor project risks. Maintain and update project schedules, action items, and documentation.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a point of contact for internal teams, gathering requirements and feedback. Represent the services and technical capabilities of the AT team to business stakeholders.
