• Drive new software implementations (requirements, vendor coordination, testing, training, cutover/go-live, and adoption).
• Lead data integration projects that connect systems and datasets (e.g., API integrations, ETL routines, data pipelines, and data quality/validation coordination).
• Manage grant-funded project milestones and reporting deadlines by tracking deliverables, maintaining a clear schedule, and coordinating inputs from internal teams and vendors.
• Get existing software deployments and/or integrations back on track by diagnosing root causes, re-baselining plans, tightening governance, and driving cross-team accountability.
