• Implement and manage project tracking tools and regular reporting mechanisms to ensure transparency and progress updates.
• Facilitate regular project meetings to ensure effective communication across all departments.

• Experience managing cross-functional teams in a startup environment.
• Deep understanding of the NPI process, including design, development, and launch phases.
• Exceptional leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across all levels of the organization.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate complexity in a fast-moving, high-tech landscape.
