Job Description

The Project Manager will oversee the planning, execution, and delivery of multiple IT projects, ensuring successful completion within defined scope, budget, and timelines. This role involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams, effective resource management, and continuous communication with stakeholders.

Responsibilities: 

As a Project Manager, you will lead large-scale technology initiatives, ensuring they align with business objectives and meet deadlines and financial constraints. You will develop detailed project plans, which include resource allocation, scheduling, and budgeting, and ensure they are followed throughout the project lifecycle. Engaging with stakeholders will be essential, as you will establish communication channels to keep them informed and aligned with the project’s progress and goals.

You will also manage any changes to the project scope, budget, or schedule through a formal change control process. Maintaining accurate documentation, including project plans, status reports, and meeting notes, will ensure transparency and facilitate smooth operations. 

After project completion, you will conduct post-implementation reviews to assess outcomes, identify lessons learned, and provide recommendations for continuous improvement in future projects.
