- Manage day-to-day project operations, including timelines, dependencies, action items, escalations, and cross-functional coordination.
- Partner with clients and internal stakeholders to align on goals, priorities, assumptions, and implementation approach.
- Analyze and validate data to support project decisions, troubleshoot issues, and confirm successful delivery.
- Write and maintain SQL queries to extract, validate, reconcile, and analyze data as needed.
- Develop Python scripts or utilities to streamline analysis, automate repetitive work, or support technical troubleshooting.
- Identify technical, operational, and data-related risks early and drive mitigation plans.
- Resolve complex issues involving data discrepancies, workflow mismatches, integration challenges, or process breakdowns.
- Document project scope, requirements, decisions, risks, and outcomes in a clear and organized manner.
- Work closely with engineering, product, operations, and client teams to unblock issues and ensure delivery.
