As a Project Director at LotusFlare, you will lead the day to day execution of one or more digital projects while building a trusted relationship with the client. Your role is to oversee one or more customers and deliver high-quality, complex enterprise software solutions. You would be leading the project team consisting of LotusFlare and client team members and guiding them towards project executions and achieving overall project goals. You’ll work directly with clients and you’ll take ownership of the overall project and its outcomes. You will make an important contribution to the analysis, design, and implementation of agile delivery, project performance, and work closely with client stakeholders to ensure positive impact and sustainable results.

You will have the opportunity to build on your proven leadership skills and leverage your interest in inspiring others, building strong relationships, and creating a true followership. In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but also autonomously with little direction. Your superior analytical, quantitative and conceptual thinking skills and strong interpersonal and communication skills will ensure successful client projects and team performance. Client project work typically includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing recommendations for presentation to client management. From there, you will implement those recommendations with client team members.

In this role you must have a strong technical background and excellent problem solving skills. You must have a solid understanding of project management best practices and be comfortable communicating with senior leadership verbally and in writing within LotusFlare and also the assigned accounts. We ask for a lot, but we also offer a lot!
