Project Manager

Profile

Project Manager (Remote)
The candidate will be responsible for scoping, planning, and executing projects within Ballard Spahr’s Project Management Office (PMO); requires an experienced practitioner who is capable of exercising discretion, building relationships, developing plans, and leading teams to achieve successful delivery; knowledge is good, but it is almost always something that needs to be customized in order to be successful. Must have diverse experience in this regard, including facilitation and communication skills that can help project team members succeed where they may not have experience working in a more formal project environment. Must have experience with building project charters, scoping custom and packaged vendor solutions (RFPs), developing all aspects of a project plan, building and leading a diverse project team, managing project invoices and financials, managing resource commitments, and formally closing projects. A key requirement for all project managers at Ballard Spahr is the ability to understand the benefit, solutions, technology, and activities for each project so that the PM can truly be a leader and champion. Building a schedule and managing status are only a part of the role and understanding enough detail to successfully manage project work is a requirement. Should be highly detail-oriented with excellent leadership, motivation, presentation, communication, and conflict-resolution skills. Must be organized with the focus to sustain a high level of quality and consistency at all times, have a passion for driving change, and have the desire to improve upon delivery processes and standards. A bachelor’s degree and a minimum of four (4) years of project management experience; additional years of experience in the absence of a bachelor’s degree will be considered. Law Firm experience is a plus. Expertise in both Agile and Waterfall methodologies, including meetings/ceremonies, team structure, and deliverables, managing a project plan with an external vendor, facilitation, negotiation, conflict resolution, and building all aspects of a project plan is a must. Experience with Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and the delivery of vendor solutions, CRM implementations, and custom-built solutions, technologies, and integrations are a must. Flexibility in all practices is required. Creativity and relationship building are key components of success where a perfect project world does not exist. Good relationship-building and people skills, formal and professional writing and speaking skills, and time management with meetings and deliverables are a must.
