Project Manager Job Description

McWilliams & Associates Inc is looking to hire a Project Manager to plan, execute, and finalize projects according to strict deadlines and within budget. This includes acquiring resources and coordinating the efforts of team members and third-party contractors or consultants in order to deliver projects according to plan. The Project Manager will also define the project’s objectives and oversee quality control throughout its life cycle. This is a critical position in our organization. 90% of our work comes from referrals so building those relationships is critical. The work we do is not the same as selling a consistent “widget” and, therefore, the work we do with each client needs to be managed to ensure an awesome experience for everyone who interacts with our company.
