Serve as a point of contact for clients, maintaining strong relationships and ensuring clear communication of project progress, issues, and solutions. Provide regular project updates to stakeholders, including senior management and clients, highlighting project status, accomplishments, and potential roadblocks. Attributes: Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills. Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills. Collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships. Natural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a passion for continuous improvement.
