ABOUT VIRTUOS

Virtuos Digital Ltd. is a next-generation experience technology company, partnering with global

enterprises to transform Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX) using the

world's leading platforms — Smartsheet, Asana, Oracle CX, Salesforce, Creatio, Agiloft CLM,

and Virtuos's own proprietary solutions (VSheet, AgenticCLM, October.ai). Headquartered in Gurugram with teams across India and APAC, Virtuos operates at the intersection of strategy,

technology, and human-centred design.

THE PPM PRACTICE

The Projects & Portfolio Management (PPM) Practice at Virtuos is the delivery backbone of the organisation. Every client engagement — from a 4-week CRM discovery sprint to an 18-month enterprise transformation — is owned, tracked, and governed by the PPM Practice. The

Practice deploys Smartsheet and Asana as its primary PPM platforms, supplemented by

proprietary Virtuos tooling (Workian, October.ai).

THE ROLE

The Projects & Portfolio Manager is a senior delivery professional responsible for end-to-end

project lifecycle management, customer success, and portfolio health across multiple concurrent client engagements. This role sits at the intersection of client leadership, project governance, and technology enablement — ensuring that every Virtuos project is delivered on time, on budget, to scope, and with a measurable impact on customer outcomes.

The PPM is not a back-office coordinator. This role is client-facing, commercially aware, and

operationally excellent. The successful candidate will be a certified practitioner of at least one

enterprise PPM suite (Smartsheet or Asana) and will use these tools not only to manage their

own portfolio but to demonstrate, configure, and drive adoption of PPM platforms within client

organisations. The position is strictly on-site at Gurugram.

Key Responsibilities

A. Project Lifecycle Management

• Own the complete project lifecycle from initiation through closure — charter, kickoff,

planning, execution, monitoring, and formal closure with lessons-learned documentation.

• Maintain project plans, WBS, milestones, and resource allocation in Smartsheet (Control

Center / Resource Management) and Asana (Portfolios / Workload / Goals).

• Manage scope, schedule, and budget baselines with rigorous change control — zero scope

creep without formal change request approval and stakeholder sign-off.

• Drive weekly project status reporting using Smartsheet dashboards and Asana Status

updates — ensuring real-time visibility for both internal leadership and client stakeholders.

• Conduct fortnightly project health reviews using RAG (Red-Amber-Green) status framework;

escalate risks proactively, never reactively.

• Facilitate Sprint Reviews, Retrospectives, and PI Planning events for agile delivery streams

within the project portfolio.

• Manage project closure — final deliverable sign-off, financial reconciliation, satisfaction

survey, case study documentation, and reference enablement.

B. Portfolio Management & Governance

• Maintain the Virtuos PPM Portfolio — a real-time view of all active, pipeline, and completed

projects — in Smartsheet Portfolio Manager and Asana Portfolios.

• Produce weekly Portfolio Health Dashboard for C-suite: revenue recognition tracker,

utilisation heatmap, milestone achievement rate, NPS trend, and risk register.

• Manage resource allocation across the portfolio — forecast demand 8–12 weeks forward;

flag capacity conflicts early; partner with Practice Heads to resolve.

• Govern the Project Intake Process — evaluate new project requests against strategic

alignment, resource availability, and commercial viability; present recommendations to

leadership.

• Maintain the Portfolio Risk Register with quantified impact and probability; chair the monthly

Risk Review meeting with delivery leads.

• Contribute to Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) — build the delivery section, narrate

portfolio…
