Experience using common project management and collaboration tools such as Jira, Linear, Monday.com, and Google Workspace. Familiarity with common CMS and MarTech platforms (e.g., WordPress, Contentful, Contentstack, Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.). Strategic, critical thinker who challenges assumptions, improves processes, and brings a strong point of view. Proven ability to independently lead initiatives, own outcomes, and hold teams accountable. Strong client leadership skills, with confidence facilitating workshops and partnering with senior executives. Experience scoping projects, developing estimates, and balancing business, user, and technical needs. Agile experience and a collaborative, problem-solving mindset.
