  • Support commercial teams in shaping new opportunities, timelines, and phase gate plans.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives within the PMO and mentor more junior project managers or technical leads.
  • Contribute to portfolio level reporting and planning, ensuring alignment with company priorities
