• Serve as the primary client and executive-level stakeholder interface on assigned projects, translating complex technical requirements into actionable plans and delivering rigorous, data-driven reporting to demanding clients.
• Drive risk identification, mitigation, and recovery planning on projects with the greatest technical, schedule, and commercial risk exposure, exercising independent judgment on high-stakes decisions where ambiguity is high and consequences are significant.
