The Milestone Scheduler is responsible for coordinating, maintaining, and driving the update of a defined set of key project milestones across a portfolio of projects. This role is highly collaborative and requires frequent engagement with cross-functional stakeholders to gather updates, validate timelines, and ensure alignment with execution plans.

The Milestone Scheduler plays a key role in driving schedule visibility, accuracy, and adoption, helping teams make informed decisions and maintain focus on critical delivery dates.
Success in this role requires strong communication, organization, and influencing skills, along with the ability to operate in service of execution teams and adapt to evolving project needs.
