About the role

The Customer Success team has one goal – ensuring we can provide the best customer experience throughout the deployment of new Cloud software.

We manage our own projects but we don’t work in silo – we work as a team. We’re collaborative, supportive, share ideas, feedback and resource when needed, and overall have the same desire to deliver service excellence to our customers.

Every day may be different for this Project Manager; it’s the nature of our projects! But in each case, you’ll assume responsibility for making sure the projects under your management are running as smoothly as they can be so we maintain our excellent service standard.

The volume and length of the projects vary greatly – it could be 10 days or 30+ days and you may be managing 5 or 15 at one time! So you’ll have your processes in place to make sure you stay on top of all the actions. Your main responsibilities will include (but are not limited to):

• Liaising with customers (some new and some longstanding) and most of Transparity, including Pre-Sales, Account Management, Consultancy, Support, and Finance to name but a few!  So you won’t be shy getting in front of people and making sure the project stays on track
• Completing various activities which include planning, some more planning, overseeing, forecasting, communicating progress, highlighting potential off-track activity, managing risks, issues, and dependencies…along with managing budgets. You’ll be busy, but it’s rewarding!
• Organise, attend and chair project and check-point meetings – the frequency of which may vary customer to customer. You’ll prepare and manage all the documentation to enable the projects to be governed against a clear set of defined deliverables and milestones, along with highlight reports to update the Customer on progress
• Assuming responsibility for ensuring the Technical Consultants stay on track as they support you  to develop end-to-end project delivery plans, as well as budget by facilitating change requests and highlighting any undocumented scope creep immediately
• Managing the customer’s acceptance and satisfaction as projects comes to a close, handing over and thoroughly addressing any issues or concerns
• Post-project evaluations to identify successful and unsuccessful project elements for lessons learned.
