📋 Description

• Lead client engagements end-to-end, from kickoff through delivery and closeout, using agile, scrum, or hybrid methodologies as required by each project
• Develop detailed project plans aligned to SOW deliverables, including scope, timelines, resources, and budget estimates
• Manage scope against the SOW by negotiating discrepancies with clients, driving prioritization decisions, and handling change orders cleanly
• Track and forecast engagement budgets, monitor burn rates, and protect engagement economics to avoid budget overruns
• Own internal logistics of client engagements: coordinate time tracking inputs, invoicing, resource alignment with delivery leadership, and revenue accuracy
• Maintain PM compliance through engagement health updates, weekly status reports, sprint reviews, and risk and issue management
• Identify and differentiate risks from issues, and escalate appropriately within the engagement and internally at NextLink
• Facilitate backlog creation by ensuring tickets have clear definitions, acceptance criteria, and estimates; manage delivery flow using Jira reports and team rituals
• Serve as the client’s day-to-day point of contact for delivery, building trust through reliable communication and consistent follow-through
• Facilitate proactive and sometimes difficult client conversations to manage expectations and address performance or scope concerns
• Deliver against client business outcomes, not just SOW deliverables, and collaborate with Delivery and Sales teams to identify expansion opportunities
• Observe project teams and provide timely feedback focused on maximizing client value and delivery quality
• Contribute to the broader NextLink PM practice by developing and improving processes, templates, and cross-functional initiatives
• Support engagement health reporting and participate in pre-sales scoping or SOW development when needed
• Work overlapping hours with US-based teams to ensure seamless communication and alignment across time zones
• Manage multiple concurrent client engagements with strong organizational rigor and attention to detail
• Interface with clients at both business and technical levels to bridge communication gaps between stakeholders and delivery teams
• Ensure all project documentation, reporting, and compliance requirements are accurately maintained throughout the engagement lifecycle
• Coordinate closely with engineering teams to ensure delivery cadence aligns with client expectations and internal resource capacity
• Drive clean engagement closeouts with proper documentation, lessons learned, and handover to support or follow-on teams

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional project management experience, including at least 3 years in a client-facing Project Manager role
• 2+ years of experience in a consulting or professional services environment
• Experience managing software or technology engagements with delivery teams of 5 or more
• Ability to leverage multiple project management methodologies (agile, scrum, hybrid) to drive the best client experience
• Experience with budget management and forecasting on client engagements, including invoicing coordination, time tracking, and revenue accuracy
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to run multiple concurrent client engagements

🏖️ Benefits

• Variety of clients, problems, and technologies across NextLink’s consulting practice
• Investment in professional growth, including exposure to senior delivery leadership and a path toward broader engagement management responsibilities
