- Coordinate with functional and technical consultants to track deliverables, dependencies, and open action items.
- Schedule and facilitate project meetings, stand-ups, and review calls; document minutes and follow up on action items.
- Track project risks, issues, and change requests, escalating to the senior PM/PMO when needed.
- Support budget and effort tracking, timesheets, and resource allocation reporting.
- Assist with testing coordination (SIT/UAT), cutover checklists, and go-live/hypercare activities.
- For support/AMS projects: monitor ticket queues, SLA compliance, and basic service reporting.
- Maintain project documentation, status decks, and knowledge repositories as per organizational standards.
- Build strong working relationships with client stakeholders and internal teams, escalating concerns appropriately.

- Good communication and coordination skills, with the ability to work with cross-functional teams and follow up effectively.

- A proactive, learning-oriented mindset with the ability to work both independently and as part of a larger project team.
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related field.
- CAPM, or an introductory SAP/project management certification, is a plus (not mandatory).
