Project Manager

Position Description:

PAR is searching for an experienced Project Manager to join the Program and Transformation Management Office ("PTMO") to help establish clear and concise project goals, lead project planning, act as an important mediator between team members and conflicting projects to establish priorities and provide project status updates to all stakeholders on a routine basis.

Our business is changing and adapting to a new restaurant experience almost daily and the successful Project Manager will be:

• Assisting our business in completing the projects they are assigned to in order to support these changes
• Skilled at summarizing project goals, removing project barriers, reporting status and timelines for leadership while not getting lost in the project details

In this ever-changing industry, it will be important for the Project Manager to ensure each project has a plan for a successful outcome by being able to:

• Take a brief description from the business on the general idea of what the project is and work to evolve it to a documented Project Charter
• Establish an agreed upon concise RACI model
• Document and manage to a measurable project plan
• Successful track toward completion with measurable success criteria

For ongoing projects, once the team is established and the project plan agreed to by key members of the team, the Project Manager will be responsible for:

• Facilitating standing meetings to ensure consistent communications of tasks completed, barriers, and next steps. Communications must be clear and concise, and the successful candidate will be strong in communicating key information pertinent to each stakeholder audience.
• Clearly communicating what happened when inevitable delays occur, work through the emotions of the delay felt by the team, and present a new plan to compensate for the delay and change in direction

A strong candidate has experience working with competing priorities and ensuring that everyone is on top of their work and feels comfortable asking for more hands if they need them. As we build the PTMO team the Project Managers may need to step in and fulfil various roles including Business Analyst, Technical Writer, and Adoption Acceleration.

As we continue our flexible workplace arrangements, it is crucial for our employees to ensure they have a reliable internet and cellular connection in place. Strong and stable connectivity in our work locations allows for smooth communication, seamless collaboration, and uninterrupted productivity.
