• Maintain project governance activities including status reporting, RAID logs, decision records, dependency tracking, project plans, financial tracking, and leadership updates.
• Manage cross-functional dependencies between content migration, CMS implementation, modernization initiatives, integration teams, business stakeholders, vendors, and platform providers.
• Support planning and execution of content migration activities, including sequencing, validation, readiness assessments, cutover coordination, and issue resolution.
• Manage client-facing delivery activities involving external business partners, third-party vendors, and cross-organizational teams.
• Identify, assess, and proactively manage risks, issues, blockers, scope changes, schedule impacts, and stakeholder alignment.
• Coordinate delivery across multiple stakeholder groups with varying priorities, governance models, operating rhythms, and approval processes.
• Provide clear and consistent communication to business, technology, vendor, and leadership stakeholders.
• Support financial management activities including forecasting, budget visibility, change control, and burn-rate tracking.
• Ensure delivery activities remain aligned with business priorities, technical dependencies, governance requirements, and strategic timelines.
• Operate effectively in environments requiring confidentiality, controlled information handling, and sensitive stakeholder communications.

Required Qualifications
• Proven experience managing client-facing technology projects involving external business partners, third-party vendors, platform providers, and cross-functional delivery teams.
• Experience serving as a Scrum Master, Agile Delivery Lead, Project Manager, or similar role supporting Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid delivery models.
• Strong understanding of system integrations, data exchange processes, platform dependencies, and cross-organizational workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple stakeholder groups with competing priorities and varying levels of technical expertise.
• Experience working within multi-vendor delivery environments and coordinating efforts across consulting teams, vendors, and business stakeholders.
• Strong project planning, delivery management, risk management, issue management, dependency management, and financial management experience.
• Experience maintaining Agile delivery practices while supporting traditional project governance and reporting requirements.
• Strong communication, facilitation, negotiation, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with project and collaboration tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, and Confluence.
• Ability to work effectively in environments requiring confidentiality, information sensitivity, and controlled communications.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience delivering integration-focused initiatives involving digital platforms, customer engagement solutions, content management systems, or high-volume transactional environments.
• Experience with headless CMS platforms, including Sanity CMS or similar technologies.
• Experience supporting content migration, content governance, web modernization, digital experience, or customer-facing platform initiatives.
