Experience

1. Project Manager (Ernst & Young)

   SkillStorm

   Apr 2022 — Present

   At Ernst & Young Global (EYG), I managed complex, cross-functional projects, adeptly utilizing industry-standard tools like Jira for task tracking and PPM for portfolio management. I maintained a RAID log to effectively identify, assess, and manage potential risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies throughout the project lifecycle. In addition, I routinely produced weekly status reports, ensuring all stakeholders were kept updated on project progress, milestones, and potential roadblocks. I was responsible for accurate forecasting, which facilitated the prediction of project completion based on various factors like cost, timeline, and resources. I also handled the invoicing process, ensuring proper allocation and accurate documentation of project costs. My comprehensive project management experience at EYG has equipped me with the ability to navigate the complexities of large-scale projects and deliver successful outcomes.
