Key Qualifications:

Customer, partner and team relationships

• Customer and partner needs can often be unique – but you’re quick on your feet and connect and influence the right people both inside and out.

You’re a go-to person with leadership and are trusted and comfortable in tough situations. You can settle disputes, and negotiations, drive alignment and accountability, and own the hard calls with minimal noise. You step up to conflicts and see them as opportunities to shine. (Influence)

• You believe that communication is key to success. You’re a dreamer and someone who actively talks and listens through endless possibilities – with customers and teammates alike. To ensure the most innovative ideas become a reality, you recognize perspectives, patiently listen to every detail, and commit to what is right, in order to move us forward. (Communication)

• You know yourself – you have strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities – but you also know the people around you and are open to their feedback. You relate well to all kinds of people

– up, down, and sideways, inside and outside the organization. When faced with a challenging opportunity, you know who to connect with and when. People know you’re a real teammate, and you know what it takes to win. (Relationships)

Strategy, solutions, and results:

• Third-party solutions solve complex business problems in simple and innovative ways. You create competitive and breakthrough strategies that truly shape the future. You do this by asking “why” and “why not,” both stripping out what is not essential and identifying what is. By doing so, you are able to see what’s ahead and identify trends that will be critical for growth. (Building Solutions)

• You strive for excellence in everything you do. Due to changing priorities, urgent customer needs, or a final push to meet a quarterly forecast, you face the daily challenge of where to focus your time and energy. You have a don’t-give-up attitude, and finish, especially in the face of resistance or setbacks. You seize every opportunity and empower others to reach their goals along the way. (Results)

• You adapt to change and find the right path without necessarily having all of the pieces to the puzzle. You distill ambiguous plans to tangible deliverables and timelines.

Additional qualifications:

• You demonstrate energy, drive, passion, and enthusiasm to do and be the very best, and approach things with a sense of urgency.

• You possess a thorough understanding of the global project management process with a meticulous eye for detail; and an understanding of how to deliver quality outcomes and world-class deliverables.

• You have experience leading a fast-paced, demanding strategic program or project environment. You’re comfortable working with global players in an international setting.

• You’re able to influence leaders across business groups and partner organizations. You’re comfortable engaging with executive-level customers, key executives, and other decision-makers, with credibility.

• You have excellent interpersonal, communication, and written skills. Able to develop clear, concise documentation, including project briefs and reports.

• You have a solid understanding of Keynote; and excellent proficiency in industry-leading productivity tools.

• You have a comprehensive understanding of project management systems and principles, employing frameworks that drive work prioritization and business decisions.

• You have a passion for technology, innovation, and a willingness to constantly challenge the status quo.

• You have a high-level understanding of hardware and software solutions.

• You have experience with business sales channel; and experience dealing with business customers.

• Relevant tertiary education and industry qualifications would be beneficial. Specialization in Business, Project Management, or Business Science; Agile, Six Sigma, Scrum, or ITIL accreditation a plus.
