IT Project Manager

Contribute to the successful realisation of the project portfolio by executing a number of IT projects simultaneously in a structured manner. This in order to implement skeyes' strategy.

After initial capture and validation of an initiative, it is up to the IT project manager to define a tailor‑made approach in consultation with the parties involved. This tailor‑made approach takes into account the specific project context, existing project standards as well as the needs of the in‑company customer.

This includes among other things:

• Defining the scope and validating it with relevant stakeholders.
• Determining material, human and financial resources and verifying that these resources are or will be available.
• Drawing up a customised governance, which provides for regular consultation for progress reporting and steering as well as defining and communicating roles and responsibilities.
• Developing a planning that takes into account the various steps to be completed within the project process, as well as the mutual and external dependencies, in consultation with the necessary experts.
• Guaranteeing quality of delivery by drawing up a test strategy that provides for the necessary test cycles and validations.
• Defining a tailor‑made communication plan.

In addition to implementing these essential fundamentals in terms of project approach, it is up to the IT project manager to take a leading role within project execution, report progress, detect problems in a timely manner and mitigate them appropriately as well as forge a cohesive project team for productive collaboration.

This includes among other things:

• Stimulating individual motivation, teamwork, as well as realising a productive relationship with external suppliers.
• Following up on the project plan and supporting the project team in its implementation.
• In coordination with our procurement department, taking a leading role in defining and evaluating public tenders.
• Identifying, reporting and mitigating risk factors that may lead to delays or blockages in project implementation.
• Ensuring that all parties involved are aware of the state of play, the main risks and challenges as well as the decisions taken.
• Ensuring that the project is delivered in a structured manner in accordance with the applicable procedures as well as initially specified project dimensions (budget, time, scope, quality).
• Coordinating test activities and associated release validations for quality assurance purposes.
• Providing hand‑over after project implementation to ensure its integration into daily activities without adversely affecting them.
