• Demonstrated ability to manage a portfolio of 10+ projects simultaneously, balancing competing priorities, dependencies, risks, customer expectations, and delivery timelines in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong understanding of modern web technologies and technical delivery concepts, including APIs, SDKs, webhooks, data pipelines, and frontend/backend architecture.
• Hands-on experience with project management platforms such as ClickUp, Jira, Asana, or similar tools, along with an ability and willingness to build or maintain workflow automations.
