BGI has the following 6 month contract opportunity with our direct client located in NY, NY
Job Description: Project Manager – IAM and Collaboration
General Description:
Scholastic is looking for a Project Manager (PjM) for a 6 month
contract who will be responsible first and foremost for the successful high quality
delivery of the Identity and Access Management and Collaboration Tools Programs.
· In order to achieve this, the PjMmust manage the business milestones, dependencies internal and external to the program, risks, resources on the program and budget. It is critical that the delivery of
the program be confined to the boundaries of the allocated budget and the
responsibility of the PjM to manage and escalate when needed. The PjM is also
responsible for driving areas peripheral, but essential to the program such as change
management, operational processes, engineering best practices, and the maturity of
delivery within the program teams. These areas are pertinent to the success of the
overall program.
The PjM will work closely with business users, Technology team leads, and others to
identify, prioritize, and complete project milestones for the assigned program and
communicating status and ensuring work is executed on time, on budget, within the
requirements and quality standards defined. The PjM will work closely with the
Program Lead, a Technology executive in close partnership to drive the tactical
execution and also apply a strategic lens to influence the roadmap and milestones.
He or she must be able to effectively communicate with business stakeholders using
business terminology as well as possess a decent technical background to enable
comprehensive business-IT alignment. This individual will also be communicating with
executive level technology management. The role requires tact, diplomacy and strong
written and verbal communication skills. The individual should also demonstrate critical
analytical skills and sound judgment. The PjM role is not a pass through of information
that is restricted to reporting and escalation, but a role where the individual must assess
the situation, identify possible solutions, weigh the pros and cons of each one, and
present optimal responses with mitigation action plans.
