Duties included:
• Responsibility for the RIM New Product Introduction (NPI) and Service Transition program for SaaS product delivery, interfacing with the software development SAFe process and collaborating with IT, engineering and professional services functions.
• Led risk management of product release issues, redefined the RIM NPI & Service Transition process for risk mitigation creating smoother transition to RIM services with a reduction in client complaints.
• Managed software and infrastructure delivery issues, using problem-solving skills to lead engineering and IT through timeline and resource profile redefinition and communication with senior executive stakeholders.
• Partnered with Product Management in building product introduction roadmaps.
• Owned the sales forecast scenario planning, partnering with the Business Development team to define the RIM operations program relating to client SaaS implementation projects.
• Assumed responsibility and leadership role for Project Management team as backup of Senior Director, managing day-to-day tactical delivery issues and using strong business acumen to direct the PM team in developing strategic project documentation, processes and tools. A unique experience to highlight for this role was using my product development and project delivery experience to look across the end-to-end solution offering and identify risks within business processes for the change to a SaaS offering from an on-premise product, resulting in the opportunity to lead a cross-company effort to realign the product development, IT development, professional services and business services requirements and associated delivery timeline, minimising the impact on the business and customer success.
OpenTextProject Manager
Nov. 2018 - Dec. 2019Waterloo, Ontario / Home BasedResponsible for delivery of multi-product content management stacks for Life Sciences customers with duties including:
• Be a strong partner, continually interfacing with customer project managers to ensure solution delivery and effective support for cross functional teams, and bringing team focus to internal team and leadership. • Strong business acumen required to work with global customers from requirements definition through design, build, validation and Production release.
• Concise regular communication both internally and to customers on progress, budget, resource forecasting, risks and issues.
• Strong leadership of remote project teams with internal and customer elements, including US, UK and India. An accomplishment to highlight in this role was my use of effective communication and resilience in managing customer expectations and influencing customer behaviour where project progress was being misrepresented along with a lack of teamwork and collaboration by the customer with my team. Using one-on-one meetings with the manager that was the apex of the issue, and changing approaches to information flow, I was able to hold the customer accountable to their decisions. Resulted in reducing issues reported which allowed my team to focus on project delivery.
