  • Comfortable leading through ambiguity and enabling teams to perform in this environment
  • Proficient in tools or processes required to manage complex projects (i.e., Gantt chart, risk matrix, Smartsheet, Jira, etc.)
  • Excellent written, presentation, and verbal communication skills are a must, ability to create visualizations of KPIs and program risks

    • Bonus Qualifications:
