• Lead cross-functional discussions to resolve obstacles, support decision-making, and maintain momentum across competing priorities.
• Support adoption of project governance standards, stage-gate practices, and change management methods to improve consistency and execution quality.
• Coordinate testing, lab trial, and commercialization activities as part of launch readiness and implementation planning.
• Review outcomes after launch or implementation to capture lessons learned and recommend improvements for future initiatives.
• Maintain accurate project documentation and ensure records align with business and compliance expectations. Requirements

• At least 3 years of experience leading projects or change initiatives in a cross-functional business environment.
