Introduction
At IBM, our Project Managers excel by leading and coordinating a project team’s overall performance, scope, cost, and deliverables. Our clients rely on timely and efficient status reports, and as Project Manager, you will drive the charge with project direction, metric definition, and performance management. If you are ready to help our clients and project teams succeed, we would love to meet you!

Your Role and Responsibilities
We are at a tipping point in history where the impact of technology on business is significant enough to transform the whole way that business operates. The convergence of new exponential technologies such as AI, cloud, mobility, automation, IoT, blockchain, and 5G have the power to change business models, reinvent processes, and reimagine the way we all work.

At IBM Consulting, we help clients navigate the scale of change needed to stay ahead and relentlessly innovate along the way. We build strong relationships with clients and co-create solutions at the intersection of strategy, experience, technology, and operations. We act as change agents: empowering clients to both strategize and execute their vision, which allows them to evolve at scale with both speed and clarity.

At IBM iX, the customer and experience transformation group of IBM Consulting, we are renegades and realists who focus on envisioning and creating end-to-end digital solutions that are focused on the end customer. We embody human-centric design and agile methodologies to rethink the way our clients work and engage with their customers and rapidly bring these experience-led digital solutions to life.

In addition to providing strong delivery leadership, you use your experience in digital transformation to advise our clients and help them understand, react, and predict the changes that digital technology is causing in their respective industries and guide our clients through a human-centric approach to envision the future.
