Project Manager - Metro Launch Support

Project Manager

A client of Insight Global in the retail/technology industry is seeking Project Managers to assist with an initiative to launch new locations in dense metro cities. This is a brand new team, building out this model and initiative and we are seeking highly skilled Project Managers who can help oversee the projects as well as build SOPs and drive innovation. As a result of this team being new, we are seeking flexible & nimble individuals who work well with ambiguity. The Project Manager will be responsible for all aspects of the projects including setting deadlines, assigning responsibilities, overseeing the work and summarizing progress of the projects. The average project timeline will be two weeks, so we are seeking Project Managers who have experience with quick turn around projects that aren't overly complex, but require a lot of follow up and partnership to deliver. This PM will be managing vendors in field, internal stakeholders, providing reporting & communication about project status & timelines. They will also be managing delivery of products and equipment and managing successfully completion on all assigned sites. This role will require extensive travel, roughly 80% of the time, Monday – Friday, all of which is reimbursable but must be paid of initially on a personal credit card. This role will be exciting and challenging and will entail leadership skills, organizational skills and collaboration skills at the highest level. The ideal candidate will require little to no training & can hit the ground running – as this is a new team, the onboarding & training will be limited and developed as the group grows.
