• Be comfortable collecting, reviewing, and editing content
• Have the ability to lead client check-in meetings, walk them through their custom dashboard, report on pre-determined KPIs
• Take a firm stance on what's right for the project and push back when necessary to keep the project aligned with the intended scope, timeline, and budget
• Know when to delegate upwards and raise the alarm at the right time, to the right people when issues occur
