Sarah Cole Production, Project Management, Business Analyst
My breadth of experience coupled with extensive technical knowledge places me in a unique position as a project manager and producer with greater visibility into technical aspects of a project. My solid skills in documentation and ability to clearly communicate complex concepts means that I am also able to conduct the role of business analyst. Working closely with stakeholder groups and multiple information streams I have the ability to bring information together concisely. I have excellent presentation skills having successfully pitched strategic concepts to many audiences from luxury brands, multi national corporations and not for profit sectors.
As a project manager I have experience across both waterfall and agile styles of management and a keen ability to cost and budget projects to a designed timeline. My style is dynamic and fluid and I enjoy working with and motivating both development and production teams.
