• Prepare high-level project summaries (objectives, benefits, status) to support business leads in executive-facing conversations
• Track project activity and help identify and flag risks or roadblocks
• Assist with coordination of smaller initiatives that may not require a dedicated project manager
• Collaborate closely with the PMO team as needed on initiatives requiring formal project management support
