Who You Are
You are a go-getting, meticulous, tech-savvy leader who takes every opportunity to organize people, whether friends, family, or at work, to create something that everyone will enjoy taking part in - not only in the process but also the results. From a simple barbeque in the park to a 10-day excursion with a group of friends, you know and want to organize the steps needed to pull off a successful event. You shine in the role of a Salesforce Project Manager who understands all the complexities not only of what a client is looking for, but also the lesser-known intricacies such as capacity planning, scope creep, budget management and more. You take the term “the buck stops with me” seriously, as you know project success, of course, depends on team effort, and ultimately it is your planning, budgeting, client management, and communication that paves the way for your team to be successful.

In addition to being in the top 99 percentile of planners, you love building and cultivating long-lasting, meaningful relationships. You take this skill and enjoy serving as not only the client’s project manager but also their account manager in a pseudo-sales role who continuously suggests new projects they should consider and why it would improve their processes. You love leading the whiteboarding sessions of high-level roadmaps with the client and your business analyst, and you are always working with the BA in guiding, but never pushing, the client to continuously improve their Salesforce for their entire company.

You will report to the Principal Project Manager and work with your project team consisting of a Solution Architect, Business Analysts, and Developers.

Your Mission
The mission for this role is to keep your project team operating at optimal performance, allowing them to hit their utilization goals, meanwhile maintaining alignment with clients on scope, timeline, and budget, leading to client satisfaction and ultimately long-term partnerships.

  • Account Management: Lead the effort as an account manager to continuously drive additional work from every client with the support of the Business Analyst through regularly scheduled check-ins, roadmap planning, and quarterly business reviews, resulting in an organic growth of annual spend of at least 10% from existing clients.
  • Capacity Planning: Perform effective capacity planning where all team members are always fully utilized, resulting in rolling weeks full of pre-approved planned work, requiring Business Analysts to be focused on discovery and requirements gathering early enough to obtain client approvals in advance, so that a developer’s schedule is never depleted.
  • Responsiveness: Provide clients enterprise-level service by acknowledging any inquiry within one business day, while regularly providing updates until resolution.
  • Team Happiness: Maintain a weekly average team happiness score of 4.5 by conducting effective syncs, proper planning, removing blockers, assigning work complementing strengths, addressing client inquiries, driving additional work, and taking any other initiatives to keep your team operating at optimal performance.
