The best candidate is someone who can lead the project while also acting as the subject matter expert (SME) for the SWIFT related work across the labs. This person needs to operate with a Project Manager mindset, taking ownership of deliverables, risks, and escalations.

They will attend all lab working sessions, identify anything urgent, at risk (red), or trending amber, and escalate those items to the hiring manager, director, or the appropriate stakeholders.
