• Project Budget Monitoring: Keep a close eye on project budgets, identifying and addressing any potential issues related to time and resource allocation to ensure projects stay on track and on budget.
• Strategic Reports: Partner with management to craft compelling reports that highlight key performance indicators (KPIs) around time tracking, project progress, project budget, and resource utilization – helping shape the direction of critical business decisions.

Project & Resource Management Support:

• Collaborate with project managers to ensure accurate timesheet allocation to projects and tasks.
• Assist in resource forecasting and capacity planning by analyzing timesheet data trends.
• Support the tracking and reporting of project milestones, deadlines, and hours worked.

System Administration and project management (Transition Responsibilities)

• Participate in a cross-functional team to support the partial automation of the timesheet system’s admin tasks.
• Contribute to project planning and timelines, ensuring project milestones are met and communicate project progress to stakeholders, supporting the change management process as the system evolves.
• Take on the role of admin for the current timesheet system during the transition period, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
• Coordinate with IT and vendors as needed for system updates and maintenance.
• Timesheeting Systems & AI Integration: Collaborate with technical and HR teams to integrate AI-driven processes, automating administrative tasks and streamlining the joiners, movers, and leavers processes.

Skills & Qualifications:
