• Control scope changes through a formal change request process.
• Escalate blockers early, with options rather than just problems.

• Plan cutovers and go-live runbooks with rollback steps.

Minimum qualifications:

• 1+ years managing technical projects in IT, software or infrastructure.
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication.
