In my current role as Project Manager with Vodafone I am responsible for 20+ projects on the Scottish Power account. Working across 3 complex accounts, I report to various different customers and to both Programme and Account level within my organisation. I manage varied change projects across multiple technologies, adding additional sites to client infrastructure. I ensure that each of my projects are delivered on time, to a high standard and within budget. I am consistently praised on my communication skills and deal with various customers on a day to day basis, continuously developing my extensive experience in customer facing roles. I continue to be involved in process improvement work across both the Scottish Power account but also Vodafone as a wider business due to my knowledge of applications such as SharePoint and Microsoft Excel.

As a Programme Co-ordinator with Vodafone, I was responsible for project support across several projects. Having only been with Vodafone for 5 months, I was placed in charge of procurement for the account, working closely with Project Managers and Suppliers to ensure that the required kit/services were delivered on time. Further, due to my strong planning background and MS Project skills, I was responsible for mentoring Project Managers, helping them to ensure that their plans were submitted on time and to a sufficient standard for the customer. During my time with Vodafone I utilised my SharePoint skills, redesigning and improving the current SharePoint for the account. Through the use of workflows and site automation I have helped to significantly reduce Project Management time and have regulated governance around Project Risks, Work Pack Requests etc.

As a Project Management Graduate with Hewlett Packard I was given the opportunity to build further on my Project skills. Starting initially within Project Planning support and Project Coordination, I have been given the responsibility of Programme Analyst for the account. Working on the HP Defence account, in a Prince2 Project environment, I have been given the opportunity to use project management techniques and apply these to real life scenarios, ranging from customer meetings to Project Planning and reporting on Project Cost and Earned Value. I am currently studying towards my CAPM exam in September.

During my time at KPMG I was placed in charge of a group of 8 students and 3 Tax Processing Seniors. My responsibilities extend to the preparation of Tax Returns, sole management of a US based Tax project for 3 large clients, and day to day management of the admin staff and tasks. I gained strong SAP skills, being responsible for client risk and billing.
