• Demonstrated experience with managing operations, coordinating tasks, or leading initiatives
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to take initiative and work independently with minimal supervision
• Proven ability to ask questions, seek clarity, and problem‑solve through ambiguity

• Background in project coordination, operations management, or team leadership
• Familiarity with cloud, telecom, or product deployment environments

• Quickly ramps up by leveraging training and self‑learning (especially JIRA and internal tools)
• Proactively identifies gaps, asks questions, and follows through to solutions
• Builds confidence working with technical teams in fast‑paced environments
• Effectively partners with senior TPMs before taking on independent project ownership
• Demonstrates strong ownership, organization, and accountability across multiple work streams
