- Technical Understanding: While a deep technical background is not necessary, experience with AMS platforms, SaaS solutions, and data migration processes is a plus.
- Leadership: Strong leadership skills with a “can-do” attitude. Must be a hands-on project manager, not just a planner or delegator.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Able to tackle unexpected issues, manage competing priorities, and adapt to evolving project needs.
- Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across multiple teams and levels of stakeholders.
- Experience with Platforms: Experience with Association Management Systems, CRM systems, website platforms, event management systems, or content management systems is highly desirable.
