  • Hold the line when schedule or progress is in jeopardy while maintaining respectful relationships
  • Effectively prioritize competing needs by providing clear reasoning and proposing practical solutions
  • Build and maintain a trusted, cooperative relationship with cross-functional partners
  • Apply strategic tools, systems, and data to help the team analyze trends and deliver insights to define goals and improve processes
  • Own and facilitate meetings to drive progress against goals and objectives, and establish clear next steps and owners while resolving blocks that impede progress
