- Previous experience managing multiple concurrent projects and deadlines and the ability to work under pressure, tight deadlines, and changing priorities.
- Effective, articulate, and persuasive communication abilities (written and verbal), along with attention to detail in terms of reading and disseminating information.
- An understanding and experience of change management at the individual and project levels.
