TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER SEATTLE, WA 5 MONTH CONTRACT

At COMPUCOM, we set you up for job success right from the start. Our precision recruiting process aligns the right fit for the right people.

Our client is continuing to expand globally into new marketplaces and new businesses. This is a premium opportunity with the team that works with internal customers and external vendors and suppliers to define the global expansion roadmap, and then to execute the plan.

In this role you will be responsible for scoping and delivering large projects end-to-end. Responsibilities include: collection of business and systems requirements from internal and external customers, writing specifications, driving project schedules from design to release, and managing the production launch. You will lead and coordinate design/implementation efforts between internal teams and outside merchants and vendors to develop optimal solutions. You will be expected to make appropriate tradeoffs to optimize time-to- market, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to internal cross-functional and remote project teams.

The right candidate will possess a strong program management background, will have demonstrated experience leading medium to large projects, and will have a well-rounded technical background in current web technologies. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or multiple competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done. As a PM, you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, develop functional specifications, then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected. Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent, and leadership are essential to successes in this role.
