• You demonstrate solid PMO competencies and behaviours, including plan management for project activities/scope/deliverables/timeline/budget, risk/issue/change management, and comfort and alignment in utilizing a PSA and other tools as a project’s source of truth.
• You are experienced in leading teams to help brands integrate data source systems (PIMs, ERPs, MDMs, DAMs) with digital retailers (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) and eCommerce platforms (SFCC, Shopify, etc.) You are curious to learn about new businesses and industries, and you can quickly grasp and make effective use of industry and a customer’s specific terminology.
