Independently manage assigned projects and deliverables from initiation through completion. Drive execution across multiple priorities while maintaining alignment with business objectives. Required Qualifications Proven experience leading or supporting complex cross-functional projects, strategic initiatives, or operational improvement efforts. Strong strategic thinking skills with the ability to turn ambiguous objectives into actionable plans. Experience working with senior leaders and diverse stakeholder groups. Advanced PowerPoint and presentation development skills. Excellent written and verbal communication abilities. Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail. Demonstrated ability to work independently and deliver results with minimal oversight. Proficiency with Microsoft 365, including PowerPoint, Excel, Teams, and Outlook. Preferred Qualifications Experience in operational excellence, continuous improvement, transformation, strategy, or change management. Experience within the energy industry or another complex operational environment. Familiarity with project management tools and methodologies, including work plans, RAID logs, stakeholder mapping, and decision logs. PMP, Agile, Scrum, or similar certification is a plus but not required. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is strategic, self-directed, polished in interactions with leadership, and willing to roll up their sleeves to ensure successful execution.
