Senior Project Manager - IS
Summary
The Senior Information Systems Project Manager will lead IT and IS initiatives by researching, planning, and coordinating system implementations across the organization. The role requires balancing Agile and Waterfall methodologies to deliver high-quality projects while partnering with cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders.
Role Overview
As a Senior Information Systems Project Manager you will be the driving force behind new Information Systems initiatives. You will work with business operations teams, end-users, and technical experts on a range of IT and IS projects. You will need to research the topic, organise, coordinate, and run the implementation of systems and tools. In this role we need you to ensure they are not just delivered on-time and with high-quality, but are also optimised to deliver the company’s holistic business goals through your understanding of the subject and challenging assumptions.
Key Responsibilities
1. End-to-End Ownership
-
Whatever project you’re working on, you own the result, as autonomously as possible
-
If the scope isn’t well-defined at the start, you would need to research to define it
-
If the direction isn’t going where you think it should, you would need to correct it
-
If something isn’t getting done, you might need to do it yourself
2. Project Management Expertise
-
The basis of the job is Project Management, so this needs to be easy for you
-
Making a plan, setting and running meetings, documenting progress and issues, and reporting to management are all daily activities
-
You’ll need to be structured where the teams need it, flexible when that’s what they need, and probably shifting between Agile and Waterfall depending on the phase of the project
3. Analysis and Challenge
-
You’ll probably start many projects not knowing the subject-matter, so you’ll have to ask questions and do your own research
-
With your new-found knowledge (and previous experiences) we expect you to ask questions, and challenge assumptions
-
By the end of the project, anyone should be able to ask you a question about it and you can provide a quick answer without notes
4. Cross-Functional Partner
-
We are part of the Information Systems Department (ISD), and we exist to make life easier for the rest of the department so they can focus on delivering the best technical work
-
We have many business stakeholders and executive sponsors we work with regularly who need to be kept informed, have a voice, receive the best results, and maintain a good relationship with
