Project & Milestone Tracking: Coordinate day-to-day deliverables across small development teams working on AI models, prototypes, and internal applications.
Meeting Facilitation & Action Tracking: Join technical standups, architecture syncs, and stakeholder meetings; take structured notes, capture key decisions, and follow up on action items.
Prototyping & Product Feedback: Participate in design reviews, test early-stage AI builds and prototypes, and help log feedback for engineering teams.
