  • Manage and adjust for any changes in project scope.
  • Coordinate project management accountability in all aspects of the project, including continuous monitoring and reporting on all project deliverables, ensuring project objectives are met, project risks are identified and mitigated through the team's risk register. 
  • Attend key project meetings & perform note taking responsibilities, following up actions from those meetings. 
  • Ad-hoc tasks as requested by your manager.
