Junior Project Manager

Who We AreAt Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward - always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.The RoleIntesa, a company of the Kyndryl Group, as part of its growth and positioning as a centre of innovation and digital transformation, is looking for a Project Manager to manage projects for both external and internal customers, concerning processes and tools supporting the company's business.Kyndryl Project Managers oversee the delivery of major projects within scope, schedule, and budget. You'll be the driving force for every aspect of a program's success, and the "conductor" who orchestrates everyone's efforts to make beautiful music together. As the single point of contact to the client, you'll also be the living embodiment of Kyndryl's reputation every day.As Project Manager, you have command of a very full and detail-oriented calendar. You'll be constructing detailed project plans, managing teams, and leading meetings, status calls, and planning and cadence meetings. You will analyze and mitigate risks, manage finances, make sure the team has the right skills, then plan and delegate activity to hit deadlines, deliver on SLAs, and generally delight our clients. Of course, plans often evolve as a project unfolds, so you'll need to practice continuous structural thinking and take ownership for value delivery, not just task scheduling.But as important as planning and organization are, communication is 90% of the job. You're the single point of contact with the client, partners, and all stakeholders, supporting them and ensuring they get what they need. You're also the bridge to every other team on the project, including both technical and account roles. The result is an exciting multicultural, often multilingual environment. Bottom line: You need to like interactions with other people and know how to be kind and empathetic but also assertive - and handle customer change requests with diplomacy.You're going to be meeting a lot of people, networking, and forging relationships. Our "one team with the customer" concept means you'll develop especially strong partnerships with the client and elsewhere. Some projects or clients even involve "embedding" with the client at their location. This puts more visibility on you personally, but it also gives you more opportunity to add value to the relationship. This is one of the things Kyndryls love about working here. It's a great way to hone your service and people skills, and it lays the groundwork for career growth both laterally and vertically.Main activities:Identification of project governance strategyDrafting and monitoring project plansBy analysing the scope of supply and feedback gathered from teams, identification of any open points to be addressedPreparation and governance of internal/external project SALsMonitoring of schedules, job margins and final accountsSupport and contribution to solution designManagement of any critical issues, proposing suitable solutions to guarantee compliance with deadlines and budgetsManagement of evolutionary requests during project supervision activitiesOptimization of delivery phases guaranteeing efficient performance and qualityProactively identifying dependenciesIdentification of risks and identification of risk mitigation actionsVerification that the project objectives are met and that all players are doing their job correctlyYour future at KyndrylBecoming a Project Manager at Kyndryl is an excellent gateway to many different paths.
