Stakeholder Coordination: Serve as the primary point of contact for business stakeholders, providing regular status updates and facilitating consensus across cross-functional teams
Risk & Scope Control: Establish processes for managing scope creep, setting performance standards, and identifying/mitigating risks before they impact the critical path
Financial Oversight: Manage the project budget strictly, ensuring all procurement activities align with budgetary guidelines and contractual obligations (SOWs, RFPs)

Requirements
