• Managing project budgets, ensuring all initiatives are delivered within financial constraints.

• 5+ years of experience in project management, ideally within HR, DEI, or L&D functions.
• Proven success in delivering complex projects on time and within scope, with a focus on quality and impact.
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail.
