Project Director

Overview

You manage a team of Lead Product Managers (LPM) and Product Managers (PM) across multiple projects. You are responsible for their careers, development and the success of their delivery. You join the team of Program Directors, called Group PM, with whom you have a dedicated weekly meeting to work together on management, practice structuring and talent development. Support your PMs/LPMs on their projects: monitor delivery, help unblock situations, provide regular and demanding feedback with a focus on progression. Be responsible for their careers: build a clear development plan with each person and map out their next steps, both with the client and within Theodo. Ensure quality delivery: secure the success of projects within your scope in terms of quality, timelines and value creation for both the client and the teams. Contribute to staffing: take part in assignment decisions and ensure alignment between talent and project needs. Lead collective events (all-hands, practice rituals) to strengthen cohesion and team dynamics. Participate in pre-sales activities to grow the practice’s portfolio and open new opportunities.
