Project Manager

We are hiring an excited, thoughtful, and disciplined Project Manager to oversee and manage multiple, client-facing projects and initiatives.  This role will report directly to the CEO and coordinate with client project managers and stakeholders to ensure effective delivery of VIVITAL solutions.  This role will be responsible for producing continual client satisfaction with project execution and communications, as well as for capturing and socializing issues, concerns, and other information that could be relevant to project or client concerns.

 

  • The degree to which projects fulfill on customer and project objectives (both business and technical)
  • The quality, completeness, timeliness, and reliability of project documentation, calendars, communications, budgets, and other project elements.
  • How effectively project risks and issues are anticipated, documented, socialized, and resolved

 

Candidates MUST possess hard skills in the domain of project management and maintain a PMP certification, but should be able to offer more than plan management and scheduling.  A successful candidate will be willing to participate fully in projects and move proactively in both organic, small-team environments and in large-scale, highly structured corporations.  In alignment with our core values of Leadership, Commitment, and Ambition, candidates must become a part of client situations, rather than simply performing tasks within them.  If you’d like to join a dynamic and fast-growing team of ambitious solution providers, we hope you’ll apply for this exciting role at [email protected]
