Who You Are:
The Project Manager, supporting the Executive Support team, leads complex, multi-faceted projects, managing their entire lifecycle from initiation to completion. While primarily focused on Executive Support projects, the role also involves managing cross-functional projects. These projects, which vary in scope, timeline, and budget, require close collaboration with internal teams and occasional external vendors. You may serve as the bridge between Executive Support and external vendors. As the Project Manager you will lead and manage projects that ensure the Executive Support operations are organized, efficient, and compliant with company policies. This role requires a high level of organization and discretion, ensuring that matters related to the principals are handled with utmost confidentiality and precision.
Exemplifying Scrum values, the Project Manager role fosters a positive, results-oriented environment that encourages transparency and adaptability.
