That includes:

  • Being the first point of contact for all our internal clients and project stakeholders
  • Project set up – identifying project needs, assessing risks, creating project timeline and budget
  • Maintaining timely delivery of project’s milestones, managing the changes in scope
  • Working with data, troubleshooting issues and finding solutions, ensuring the quality of workflow
  • Monitoring project financials, being able to identify drivers of overspend and profitability, propose / highlight cost-saving solutions where possible
  • Actively working with key GRC experts on continuous process improvements and development

As an experienced Project Manager, you will also join the introduction trainings to see Kantar culture and understand the specifics of projects run by GRC and learn more about Kantar IP tools. After this, apart from working on robust and continuous live projects, you will be actively involved in the process development and will be mentoring less experienced colleagues and enhancing their PM skills.
