Essential Duties and Responsibilities (Other duties may be assigned)

• Advanced Timelines & Task Management: Develop efficient processes for high-touch accounts that allow the team to meet internal and external goals. Apply advanced problem-solving to anticipate risks, unblock teams, and proactively restructure timelines when milestones are threatened.
• Asset, Asana & Communication Management: Own end-to-end management of account documents, URLs, copy, creative, and collateral. Maintain Asana as the single source of truth for assigned accounts, translating action items into assignments and keeping teams unified across email, Slack, and meetings.
• Billing, Budget & Contract Oversight: Complete monthly billing for assigned clients and manage rollover under spend/overspend. Take a lead role in managing contracts and scope-of-work outlines with external parties, including vendors and clients, escalating contract risk to the Supervisor.
• Meeting Management: Manage agendas for internal meetings and collaborate with Account Directors and Account Managers on client meetings. Record meeting notes, develop timelines for follow-ups, and drive accountability on action items.

• AI Adoption & Peer Enablement: Adopt and use agency-supported AI tools (including Claude-powered skills) in daily project management workflows; pilot new use cases on lower-risk accounts before scaling, and share lessons learned with peers and leadership.
• Process Contribution: Proactively identify opportunities to simplify or eliminate PMO processes and templates; bring forward documented recommendations to the Supervisor, with attention to what should be removed, not only what should be added. Support the department's project work as assigned.
