In-depth knowledge of multiple project management methodologies (e.g., Waterfall, Agile, Hybrid), with the flexibility to apply the most effective approach based on project needs and organizational maturity.
Strong vendor management and coordination skills, including oversight of third-party deliverables, contractual compliance, and service-level assurance.
