Background

About Janae Beaver

I am a dynamic project and program manager with over 5 years of management and administrative experience. Passionate about mission driven work and non-profit programming, I bring a solution-oriented mindset and excel at adapting to new teams and procedures. As an executive assistant and office manager, I built a foundation of skills in contract management, scheduling, operations management, project documentation, and event planning. My tact and strong interpersonal skills allow me to handle sensitive information and mediate conflicts effectively. As a project manager, I have managed various digital assets and properties, including online courses, video production, graphic design, and animation. I am relentless in investigating every possible improvement while maintaining priorities. I use data analysis, quality assurance, and budget management to identify risks and find solutions. Whether managing a website overhaul, coordinating cross-departmental initiatives, or organizing an educational program, I believe any challenge can be solved with an open mind. I have created timelines around technicians, designers, writers, engineers, directors, and more, balancing the bigger picture against departmental needs to create accurate project plans. I strive to understand the nitty gritty of everyone’s process, so I can track goals and timelines with as much context and information as possible; and if a team member hits a roadblock, I’m right there to help find a solution. I love building programs and initiatives that foster community engagement, support students, improve education, and create opportunities for underrepresented communities. Proficient in Google Suite, Microsoft 365, Asana, Jira, and Airtable, and quick to learn new applications, I leverage project management tools to streamline production and communication. While efficiency and smooth execution are key, I prioritize listening to and uplifting my team, firmly believing that a positive work environment leads to excellent results.
