• Support annual project planning, budgeting, forecasting, and portfolio prioritization.
• Independently lead smaller or moderately complex projects and workstreams as assigned.

• Provide project information, reporting, and analysis to IT project leadership.
• Assist Project Managers in developing recovery plans for projects that are behind schedule or over budget.
