• Project Co-ordination & delivery: ensure day-to-day delivery runs smoothly by coordinating activities across multiple teams and disciplines

• Comfortable working with cross-functional teams (e.g. marketing, design, engineering, analytics) and contributing to agile ceremonies
• Able to break down work, highlight risks or blockers early, and support decision-making with clarity
• Curious and proactive—quick to learn new tools (e.g. Google Analytics) and always looking for ways to improve how things get done
