Coordinates all aspects of a product or service offering project for a client, from inception to installation. Installations may involve acceptance of capitalized equipment or enterprise software systems, or system integration and consulting projects and engagements. This role is primarily tactical in nature and manages specific projects that have a distinct beginning and end. The focus is on delivering new or enhanced products and improving customer satisfaction through the use of technology.
Project management skills, rather than technical skills, are key to this role, though a strong technical background is often required to manage competing interests. The position may require occasional work at the client site.

In some instances, this manager may be responsible for a functional area without any subordinate employees.
Plans, organizes, and controls resources within the department or unique entity, and participates in the creation of operating plans that support the organization's overall strategic plan. Manages, potentially through subordinate supervisors, the coordination of activities across a section or department, with responsibility for results including costs, methods, and staffing.
Key Responsibilities

Receive assignments in the form of objectives and determine how to allocate resources to meet schedules and goals.
Provide guidance to team members within the latitude of established company policies.
Recommend changes to policies and establish procedures that affect the immediate organization.
Lead cooperative efforts among members of a cross-functional project team.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Involves extensive interaction with sales, systems engineering, product development, and other members of cross-functional teams. Frequently interacts with subordinate supervisors, customers, and functional peer group managers, typically on matters spanning functional areas, other company divisions or units, or the relationship between customers and the company.
Decision-Making and Impact
Erroneous decisions or failure to achieve results will add to costs and may impact the short-term goals of the organization.
