• Establish and maintain strong project governance, including delivery plans, RAID logs, executive status reporting, deployment readiness assessments, cutover planning, and stakeholder communications.
• Facilitate decision-making by providing transparent reporting, surfacing tradeoffs, and ensuring leaders have clear visibility into project health, risks, and delivery outcomes.
• Leverage AI tools and techniques, such as generative AI for documentation, predictive analytics for forecasting, and automation for reporting and project management activities, to improve delivery effectiveness and efficiency.
• Support business development through scoping, estimation, and proposal contributions, while mentoring team members and contributing to the growth of Slalom's delivery and AI capabilities.
