- Independently own end-to-end delivery for specific, defined projects within the Program Management Office: manage timelines, risks, and stakeholders, building detailed project plans that cover scope, sequencing, milestones, and deliverables
- Drive accountability across functions and contributors, often without formal authority over them, adapting plans in real time as scope and priorities shift
- Build and maintain stakeholder updates, status reporting, and decision logs; exercise sound operational judgement within established procedures, escalating complex or ambiguous issues to leadership
- Manage scheduling and logistics for the Deputy Head of Content Lab where it supports the team's priorities - prioritizing meeting requests and handling day-to-day administrative needs
- Maintain records, organize files, and ensure easy access to important documents and information
Minimum Qualifications - Experience acting as leverage to a team or function leader
