Senior Project Manager

The project leader must initially coordinate the possibilities within the current context with the various stakeholders and existing applications around training offerings. Subsequently, a number of subprojects will need to be driven:

• UI/UX research
• Software development
• Adaptations to source systems
• Connection to a broader campaign to promote adult education

The project leader is the central hub of these actions.

In terms of profile, the project leader is someone with experience in IT projects, but who is also used to stakeholder management and someone who can capture high level business requirements and translate them into specifications or a project request. The project leader reports to the responsible persons within AHOVOKS but can function with a large degree of autonomy.

Furthermore, the project leader is someone who communicates transparently, provides adequate feedback and delivers the necessary accountability documents and products.

The project leader directs the necessary people from the business within the project, but this is done in consultation with the business, so that no misunderstandings arise about the agreements concerning the deployment of people.
