· Maintain Jira and MS Project views to support release planning, schedule tracking, issue follow-up, and management reporting

· Knowledge of portfolio and program management concepts

· Strong presentation, leadership, and stakeholder communication skills, with the ability to present clear release status to leadership, customers, and cross-functional teams
