This includes liaising with stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and within budget while maintaining high‑quality outcomes. A critical component of the Project Manager’s role is to lead the people change management aspects of the program, after assessing implications of the project outcomes on the workforce.

• Facilitate regular status meetings and communicate risks, issues, decisions, and project progress to stakeholders and PMO leadership.
• Prepare executive level reporting aligned to PMO governance standards, depending on the project.
• Perform risk management to identify and minimize project risks early, and maintain mitigation or resolution plans, while taking proactive, corrective actions when necessary.
• Lead change control processes to manage scope modifications and evaluate impact to timelines, budget or outcomes within the project lifecycle.
• Deliver project work within scope, timeline and budget or provide detailed information to inform management when variations occur and cannot be course‑corrected.
• Assess impacts on culture and leverage this change to support an enhanced employee value proposition.
• Develop internal and external communications to support the project.
• Lead the change management and other people impacts of the change.

• Aid in achieving PMO objectives by contributing information and recommendations to strategic plans, when applicable.
• Enhance department and organizational reputation by accepting ownership and exploring opportunities to add value.
