Our client, a leader in Enterprise Software and Cloud Computing, is looking for a skilled Demand Intake Manager to join their team for a 6+ month engagement. This project involves leading the optimization of their global demand intake and prioritization processes across a fast-paced professional services organization. This is a high-impact role that requires a self‑motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Own and optimize the demand intake process across all business units.
• Evaluate new requests for completeness, feasibility, and strategic alignment.
• Lead intake and prioritization sessions with key stakeholders.
• Maintain dashboards and reports to track demand trends and portfolio decisions.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to balance client demand with delivery capacity.
• Identify and implement process improvements that streamline intake workflows.

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

• 3+ years of experience in a similar role (project management in professional services preferred).
• Deep expertise in strong business acumen and understanding of project delivery models. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Experience with PSA tools (e.g., Kantata, Smartsheet, Salesforce).
• Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
• Data‑driven mindset with the ability to turn insights into action.
