• Ensure that all projects meet quality standards and deliverables through regular reviews, audits, and assessments.
• Collaborate with senior leadership, project managers, and other key stakeholders to ensure alignment of project goals, objectives, and priorities.
• Monitor project performance metrics

We would love to hear from you if:

• You have 15+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s or advanced degree, in establishing and maintaining governance frameworks to ensure compliance and accountability.
• You have deep understanding of methodologies like Agile, Scrum, or Six Sigma for effective project execution.

• You have skills to lead organizational change and ensure smooth transitions during project implementation.
• You have proficiency in using analytics and metrics to guide project decisions and measure success.
• You have capability to align project goals with organizational objectives and drive long-term success.

We’d be especially excited if you:
