Role Description

Working as part of the EMA RDC team, the role of the Project Manager is accountable for ensuring appropriate application of best practice in project management to support the successfully completion of the project within agreed tolerances for scope, quality, time and budget.

The main project the Project Manager will work on is the InTransit project. The ITS Global department of our client currently has three data centers around the globe. It is the intention to close these three data centers by moving as many applications to the cloud as possible. It is however expected that a number of applications going forward will continue to be hosted inside the organizations network due to legislation, risk management, tactical or technical reasons. It is the intention of ITS Global to request the three regional RDCs to host these applications.

The EMA RDC data centre is hosted in two facilities in the greater London area. The EMA RDC will act as broker between ITS Global, the internal software houses that develop and maintain applications and X-UK for the applications to be moved as part of Intransit. For each application to be moved, the parties involved are expected to appoint a project manager. Our client is looking for a project manager that can oversee the activities and has a role in alignment of project plans and project execution. This include identification of (potential) issues and bring project managers together in order to resolve these issues.

This role requires a profound experience of collaboration in an international environment. This requires a project manager to organize managed collaboration, with a proper balance between leadership and diplomatic skills.

The role is not technical project management, however it does require generic knowledge of hosting in order to be able to understand and resolve issues and conflicts.
