Stakeholder Coordination
  • Organize meetings, workshops, and cadence calls across geographically distributed teams.
  • Facilitate clear communication between EAS, customers, and internal engineering groups.
  • Support preparation of agendas, pre-read materials, and follow-up documentation.
Financial & Administrative Support
  • Track project hours, budgets, burn rates, and financial forecasts.
  • Assist with invoice validation, time-entry accuracy, and allocation tracking.
  • Identify cost variances and escalate risks to PMO leadership.

  • Assist in tracking Day-1, Day-30, and Day-90 integration activities.
  • Maintain synergy trackers, cross-company communication logs, and integration plans.
  • Support coordination across multiple merging entities or technical workstreams.
Continuous Improvement
  • Contribute to template development, reporting enhancements, and PMO process improvements.
  • Support knowledge transfer and ensure smooth transitions across project phases.
  • Help implement consistency and structure across all EAS-led engagements.
 
Required Skills
  • Excellent written and spoken English.
  • Strong organizational, documentation, and coordination skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced enterprise environment.
  • Strong communication skills and comfort working with multiple teams.
  • Experience with collaboration tools (Teams, SharePoint, Jira/Confluence, or similar).
Project Management Knowledge

  • Familiarity with RAID logs, milestone tracking, change control, and governance structures.
