- Facilitate regular status meetings and communicate priorities, risks, issues, and progress to key stakeholders.
- Maintain accurate program documentation, reports, schedules, action items, and performance metrics.
- Analyze operational trends and identify opportunities to improve production flow, reporting, quality, and overall efficiency.
