• proven experience using JIRA to oversee and monitor project workflows
• exceptional relationship management and customer service skills, including the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional project groups, internal sponsors and direct team members
• exceptional skills for managing small to medium sized projects and producing project deliverables using project management processes, methodologies and disciplines (project charters, project plans, project budgets, test strategies, implementation plans, Agile)
• strong presentation and communication skills including verbal, written and listening as well as an innate ability to ask the right questions and influence the resolution of issues and conflicts to drive project success
• orientation towards designing, implementing and evolving project management processes, tools, standards and practices to strengthen the company’s approach (we are still maturing our approach to project management so there is opportunity here!)
• demonstrated flexibility, critical thinking skills, and an ability to work independently and effectively under pressure to meet tight and shifting timelines.

Bonus points if you have…

• experience with projects involving software or product development
• knowledge of digital social platforms, business intelligence/analytics, application programming, database and system design.
