• Team and Resource Coordination: Coordinate internal and external technical resources (e.g., Solution Consultants, Engineers, Partner resources) to ensure effective resource allocation and task execution across all phases of the project.
• Commercial & Financial Oversight: Oversee the commercial aspects of the project, including monitoring project budget burn-rate, managing Statements of Work (SoW), tracking resource time & expenses, and ensuring timely invoicing based on project milestones.

This role requires

• Project Management Experience: You have a minimum of 5 years of experience as a Project Manager in the IT services or enterprise software industry, with a proven track record of managing technical implementation projects successfully.
