Senior Project Manager VP - Hybrid
Company: Citi
Location: Cedar Hill
Posted on: January 19, 2023
Job Description:
As a Senior Project Manager, you must be able to manage a large
multi-faceted project/account/campaign or multiple projects at the
same time. You must also be able to lead a Project Manager and/or
an Assistant Project Manager and/or team of Project Managers. This
position requires a multi-faceted individual with strong
negotiation skills.
- Project managers are change agents: They make project goals
their own and use their skills and expertise to inspire a sense of
shared purpose within the project team. They enjoy the organized
adrenaline of new challenges and the responsibility of driving
business results.
- Responsibility and Accountability for the Project: Responsible
for using best practice PMO methodology to create a project plan to
fit the stakeholders/customers' needs and deliver within budget on
desired outcomes. Fully accountable for the result of the project,
is the driver that holds the project together. The project manager
leads the project with passion, as if it was his or her own
business.
- Defines Project Roles and Responsibilities: Working closely
with the stakeholders and project team members, the PM is
ultimately responsible for defining the project scope and
objectives to ensure project members understand what is expected of
them and what they should expect from one another.
- Performs Project Tracking: Prepares, maintains, and submits
clear and concise activity/progress reports and time
recording/management reports. The number one reason for tracking a
project is to discover potential problems before they occur. The PM
applies this proactive approach in routinely tracking the project
members' progress against their project commitments.
- Adopts Project Management Best Practices: The PM is responsible
for defining, teaching, and enforcing the use of good project
management practices. They have a broad and flexible toolkit of
techniques, resolving complex, interdependent activities into tasks
and sub-tasks that are documented, monitored and controlled. They
adapt their approach to the context and constraints of each
project, knowing that no "one size" can fit all the variety of
projects. And they are always improving their own and their teams'
skills through lessons-learned reviews at project completion.
- Makes Things Happen: Have the knowledge, skills and experience
to be able to recognize when problems surface or potential problems
are looming. PM is able to articulate problems, bring the right
people together to solve problems and know when the problem has
been properly addressed and closed-all this with the proper sense
of urgency that the problem requires.
- Promotes Customer Involvement: The PM recognizes that project
success is directly related to satisfying the customer; therefore,
customer involvement is essential to ensure that the right product
is built. Communicates Project Status Upward and to the Client. No
significant project status leaves the boundaries of the project
without PM approval.
- Applies Lessons Learned From Recent Projects: The PM studies
the lessons learned from prior projects and applies the most
important lessons to the new project.
- Encourages and Supports Escalations: Communicates to all
concerned parties project milestones, status updates, as well as
any existing or potential customer escalation issues. Proactively
follows escalation and change control processes. Has overall
ownership of all management reports on a given engagement. The PM
establishes a project culture where escalations to resolve
"stagnant" problems are viewed as good business and not viewed as
being personal.
- Promotes Good Working Relationships: The PM serves as a role
model in promoting good working relationships across a project.
PM's cultivate the people skills needed to develop trust and
communication among all of a project's stakeholders: its sponsors,
those who will make use of the project's results, those who command
the resources needed, and the project team members. Enforces
Effective Change Control: The PM ensures that scope creep,
communications, and quality are carefully managed.
- Drives Decision-Making to Lowest Level Possible: The PM drives
ownership of decisions to the level where the accountability of the
decision must lie. A key result is that project members, with
proper training and coaching, will almost always rise to the
expectations placed on them.
- Mentors Project Members: The PM is a teacher and a helper.
- Consensus and Contingency: The PM routinely engages in building
consensus, developing contingency planning and providing recommend
solutions.
- Maintain detailed records: Maintain documents of the life of a
project and share information as necessary.
- Manages to Project Priorities: The project manager understands
that the No. 1 problem on all projects is that the most important
problems are not being worked to a swift closure; therefore, most
of the project manager's time each day is dedicated to addressing
the project's top three-to-five priorities. Qualifications:
- Bachelor's Degree and 7+ years of project management experience
