Project Manager — ITSM - PH

ABOUT THE ROLE

• communicate with users, IT, and senior-level management concerning project progress, concerns, and issues, and manage stakeholders' expectations
• ensure all project requirements and/or objectives are properly defined and documented
• establish, build, and update project plans with actuals and forecasts; manage deviations from the plan and identify and manage project risk
• act as a primary liaison between the IT division and the various stakeholders
• maintain project and task tracking in the Organization's core PM tools (e.g., ClickUp for tasks, Clockify for time-tracking and burndown reporting)
• express information effectively through clear and convincing oral and written presentations
