Description
Project Manager build positive client relationships during projects. They assess the clients’ needs, identify customer requirements, and develop cohesive projects that improve the operations of a business through more efficient procedures and systems. This job involves analyzing business data to assess situations, assigning tasks to team members, and problem-solving when issues arise. Project Managers are strong communicators who are comfortable working with different teams at various levels of a business and have excellent organization skills.
Responsibilities:
Liaise with Clients
Oversee the customer service operations within a business, dealing with customers directly and often as their first point of contact. Help clients to implement their services and plan projects more effectively, often setting up “discovery sessions” with key stakeholders to identify issues and ways to improve.
Analyze Business Data
To gain a clear overview of the company’s status, Project Managers analyze financial data, such as revenue, expenditures, and project budgets, to write more relevant and accurate proposals. From this data, they can create and implement an action plan once they have gained the client’s agreement for each initiative within the project.
Manage Projects
A key aspect of a Project Manager’s role is to boost morale and build productivity within teams for better and more efficient execution of tasks and projects. Project Managers take on many different projects to ensure cohesion between project teams and to make sure that projects meet the initial brief from the client. Often, they conduct meetings with employees and clients to find solutions to problems and strengthen partnerships.
Identify Upselling Opportunities
Project Managers identify new concepts for products and find ways to upsell or cross-sell to increase revenue and build brand awareness. They also recommend new systems and procedures to amplify productivity, which may include organizational changes to make these processes more efficient.
Prepare Reports on Project Performance
Project Managers track the progress of each project and work to manage the resources and timescale for each one, including the teams working on them. They prepare reports on these projects to identify achievements and goals met as well as to highlight any areas for improvement going forward. They also conduct performance reviews and carry out resource management duties.
