The successful candidate will also have strong interpersonal skills, a collaborative leadership style, and experience facilitating group sessions. The Project Manager will act as the chief liaison for all project stakeholders, managing stakeholder expectations while balancing the competing constraints of scope, schedule, budget, quality, risk, and resource availability throughout the project lifecycle.

Reporting to the head of VP of Operations for ALC Branches, key responsibilities include the identification and alignment of stakeholder expectations, production of internal deliverables (e.g. budget, Project Plan, documented processes, etc.), adherence to applicable policies and procedures, and ultimate delivery of the project solution “on-schedule and on-budget” while managing multiple projects simultaneously. Majority of projects are internal and range from technical (e.g. software product development & systems alignment) to non-technical (implementation of corporate initiatives). The Project Manager will be expected to be a visionary in the area of process improvements to help create a more efficient and transparent organization.
