We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

About your day to day:

Independently own the delivery of large, complex programs independently and with support from more junior project managers.
Serve as an escalation point to manage risks and provide solutions-oriented consultation to integrated team leads, proactively looking around corners, controlling project scope and the change control process, and collaborating with leads to strategically identify and implement win-win solutions.
Partner with Finance and Account teams to ensure clients are profitable, fees are appropriate, forecasts are accurate and SOWs are approved.
Drive client discussions related to project plans, financial health, Edelman capabilities and approach to delivery.
Partner with Resource Management to forecast current and future staffing requirements in order to identify the best talent for the work.
Establish workflow and best practices on integrated businesses that enable teams to efficiently deliver against program goals.
Ensure quality checks and consistency of all outputs across all project deliverables.

Contribute to project operations and "the work behind the work" - prioritizing of new project opportunities, establishing flexible frameworks and best practices with new teams, and providing input on PM team assignments.
Manage and mentor Project Management team members, including resolving project escalations, setting and managing performance goals, coaching individual career growth paths, and balancing workloads.
Balance a sense of urgency with a calm and confident leadership at all times.
