Project Manager - PH Applicants

The Role

As a Project Manager, you are key in the successful and timely delivery of our data science projects. You are responsible for planning and overseeing projects to ensure they are completed on time and within budget. You have the responsibility of allocating project resources, preparing budgets, monitoring progress, and keeping stakeholders informed. 

You will be our clients' main point of contact, keeping them informed of relevant milestones, blockers, or changes that a project needs. It’s not good to over or under-inform, so the project manager must be able to cascade the right information to the relevant people at the appropriate time.

You will be in charge of the project’s schedule, requirements backlog, and to-do lists. Expect to work with both internal and client teams, and sometimes even push back on them, to keep the project on track -- effectively communicating at varying levels of seniority and contexts is a must. You will be expected to systematically break down big, vague requests into smaller, more actionable tasks for our teams. As such, consolidating information from various parties and crafting the next steps from them will be very important.

Internally, you will be establishing workflows for your project teams depending on various factors like the nature of the project and the working style of your members. You need to quickly identify and improve on things that don’t work and document the things that do as best practices. The Project Manager is expected to create appropriate protocols, remove blockers, and address risks in a timely fashion, ensuring that your team works efficiently. You must be able to build a strong rapport with your project teams. Making sure the project is delivered successfully through tough times while keeping your team motivated and not burnt out will be one of your most important responsibilities

We know it can be tricky to apply for roles, wondering if the position is right for you and if you and your experience are suitable for the part. Many people won't apply for roles unless they feel that they tick every single box. At eFlex, we look for many different skills and abilities, and we're always looking for how new team members can add to eFlex and our culture. So if you don't think you quite meet all of the skills listed, we'd still love to hear from you!

Qualifications and competencies

We are looking for someone who has:

• Strong external communication skills - One of your main responsibilities will be to communicate with our client and internal teams. Not all news will be good news, so you need to know how to handle all sorts of situations.

• A burning desire to get things done - You are the number one champion of your project, and you can rally your teammates to complete things on the task board.

• Great adaptability and flexibility - No matter how meticulously made, project plans will veer off-course one way or another. You need to change strategies as needed, and not be locked into one way of doing things. 

• Ability to deal with ambiguity - You may handle projects that deal with topics you’ve never encountered before. You need to know how to ask the right questions to the right people to make things sensible for you and the team.

• Quick learning ability - We don’t expect you to be an expert on the ins and outs of a data science project, but we do expect you to fill in the gaps quickly. Do the research and ask questions! You'll be part of a very talented team, so make sure to learn something new every day.

• Strong initiative - There are many things to do from all sides! See something you can help with but you haven’t been assigned to? Go ahead and do it!
