Soft skills/Character

• We need self-starters and problem solvers - they will inherit a Detailed Plan, possibly even baselined by their arrival, but this will not be a risk-free route map to go live.
• We need PMs who can build a working relationship quickly, especially with each other - whilst their workload will be split across the platform we deliver, they cannot work in isolation.
• We want confident and charismatic PMs - there will be much exposure to our own seniors, the client and 3-5 supplier Project Management teams; we need them to be capable of taking the lead, by example, using personality and relationship building to navigate the difficulties.
• We need PMs who UNDERSTAND collaboration, can articulate what it means and how it works in a delivery context and be capable of giving strong examples of where they have lived this principle in their projects - the client is setting much store by this concept and will expect all resources who work cross-organisation to make it work; this is particularly hard for PMs with their own plans/milestones to deliver that may be impacted by the struggles of other parties.
• We need enthusiasm and drive - PMs are team captains, needing to keep teams' morale up in testing circumstances and gain respect and support from these pressured resources.
