The job
The Senior Project Manager (SPM) demonstrates a passion for effective and creative project management. The SPM is an expert in Mind Gym’s most complex project management, able to evaluate progress and quality of resources whilst building strategies toward mitigating risk.
Senior Project Managers have found their voice within the business and have an expertise running projects at scale. Able to act both completely independent and as a strong team contributor, the SPM is able to handle the ever-increasing volume and complexity. They accomplish this by their ability to anticipate every move, act with utmost tact and diplomacy, and lead stakeholders through the ambiguity.
