• Lead, support, and motivate multidisciplinary project teams to deliver defined objectives and milestones.
• Act as the primary customer interface throughout the project lifecycle, managing communications, expectations, and issue resolution.
• Facilitate regular project meetings, progress reviews, and stakeholder reporting to ensure alignment and transparency.
• Track and monitor project progress against baseline plans, budgets, and deliverables, taking corrective actions where required.
• Participate in early-stage deployment and integration phases, supporting hands-on technical work when necessary.
• Identify potential opportunities for service enhancement or future business engagement during project execution.
