Senior Project Manager
Seattle, Washington, Us
I am a senior security project manager for Leviathan Security Group, managing private and public-sector technical engagements. I oversee projects starting during the sales process and through execution, delivery, and post-mortem. My key role is as a communicator and translator, often also acting as a trainer and mentor. The value of our work is always dependent on our customers' specific needs so keeping that business context in mind is paramount.Unlike project management at many other companies, my role also includes other tasks necessary to support and improve a small business. I assist in internal business strategy, sales & marketing, employee training & on boarding, and more.Day to day, I spend my time bridging the gaps between our project sponsor and project team, and between that team and our customers. In other words, I translate Leviathan's business needs into specific activities for our consultants. I also convey the results of our work into language that is relevant to our clients. I frequently co-author and copy edit customer-facing reports to better align what we did to our customers' business needs. Of course, I also manage project scope, expectations, and timelines. The best part of my job is learning from the projects we work on to continue to refine Leviathan’s business strategies and identify areas for improvement. In the past that has included developing new processes and tools for streamlining both project management and also the sales process. Through all of this, I am most comfortable working collaboratively with other people. I enjoy working together to define a problem space, discussing and analyzing it, and of course breaking up/delegating the work necessary to get a project done.
