Project Manager

  • Job Type: Permanent
  • Location: Dublin South
  • Category: Program/Project, BA/PM Senior Appointments
  • Salary: €75000

We have partnered up with a client of ours who is expanding their Project Management team. The company has experienced huge growth since their founding in 2010. They have since acquired smaller companies and continue to grow their customer base and to be a leading provider in their industry.

The person would report to the Head of Projects and will be responsible for prioritising the development process in a fast-paced work environment. They are looking for someone to bring structure to the projects and ultimately deliver the projects within a tight deadline and short turn around times. The environment is moving fast and product development is rapid, so being able to keep the momentum is critical. Someone who has come from a start up environment would suit this opportunity as it is a very similar setup in the way they operate( smaller projects of 3-6 months with changing priorities ). Experience working in an MVP environment is also a very important aspect to the role.

This is a very hands on role and the right person will be dynamic, collaborative and autonomous with excellent soft skills and attention to detail. You will need to have the ability to work with different personalities and get everyone on board with you. The right candidate will have experience managing vendors and third party stakeholders and have worked in a PMO or one that is being created.

The projects are short term with a quick turnaround time (3-6 months usually) and they are mostly for the end user so B2C experience is essential.

You will have the chance to apply your end to end project management skills in a cross functional, product development environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Develop project plans within realistic deadlines and deliver projects on an MVP basis.
  • Take ownership of the process for prioritising development by ensuring all features have a clear, accurate benefit and associated cost and prioritse based on maximum benefit at minimum cost.

  • Communicate progress, issues and actions to all stakeholders and keep them informed of all relevant software and features from idea through to customer delivery.
  • Summarise progress for monthly board meetings

 

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
