Coordinate feedback from stakeholders, ensuring that it is incorporated into the development process. Facilitate decision-making by presenting options and recommendations based on project progress and business objectives. Risk Management & Issue Resolution: Identify potential risks to the project timeline, scope, or budget, and proactively work with relevant teams (e.g., compliance, risk) to mitigate them. Resolve any project-related issues by coordinating with business heads and relevant departments, escalating when necessary to ensure timely resolution.
