The client is
seeking a project manager responsible for the complete delivery of an
initiative Cross-functional transformation, the "Service Standards,"
is linked to its 2035 Customer Experience ambition. The mandate emphasizes the
human element: evolving practices and behaviors across a large organization,
placing change management at the heart of the role, alongside traditional
project management (project plan, budget, schedule, single reporting line).
The recurring
terms (cross-functional, alignment, sponsor, steering committee, political
skills) indicate a multi-stakeholder environment where coordination and
political navigation take precedence over technical execution. The mention of a
software integration and platform change project adds a technology delivery
dimension, without making the position an IT role.
The
ideal candidate is a senior transformation project manager, distinct from a
project coordinator (PCO) and a change management consultant without delivery
accountability.
