• Capture Project Management process improvements and update shared materials
• Other duties as assigned
• Track and hold weekly status update meetings with stakeholders
• Utilize and manage all PM tracking tools

• Bachelor's degree preferred
• PMP / PMI Certification
• Minimum of 10+ years of high-level automotive or SaaS or project management experience preferred
