• Experience tracking KPIs or deliverables and preparing reports for a manager.

• Comfortable tracking actual spend against budget and flagging variances — confident working with numbers in Excel.

• Comfortable working in a project-tracking tool (e.g. Asana, Monday.com, Trello or MS Project) to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, milestones and dependencies.
