Bentley is the global leader dedicated to providing architects, engineers, geospatial professionals, constructors, and owner-operators with comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure. Bentley Systems applies information mobility to improve asset performance by leveraging information modeling through integrated projects for intelligent infrastructure.

The successful candidate should have a good knowledge of standard project management processes along with full life cycle experience in global enterprise systems implementations. This includes direct experience managing a wide variety of IT projects, including enterprise business systems, web technologies, security tool implementations, and third-party system integrations. Experience working in environments that include a mix of integrated on-premise and hosted (or cloud) enterprise solutions is also a plus.

The IT Project Manager works with Bentley’s IT Project Office to ensure the success of Bentley’s IT Project Portfolio through the creation of an environment that allows the teams to focus on their projects by providing clear prioritization, effective planning practices, efficient execution, and collaborative business group participation.

The candidate should also possess the desire and ability to gain a high-level understanding of the project’s goals, overall technical deliverables (not detailed architectural design or core technology knowledge), and general terminology included in the project’s objectives. This ability is necessary for general communication with the project team members, IT management, and the Business Groups.

We will rely on you for the following:

• Contribute to the continued use and improvement of IT Project Office methodologies, ensuring the core set of project practices are followed, with some additional and more detailed practices being used for strategic projects.
• Manage multiple projects in parallel using the tools and processes implemented by the IT Project Office, including managing and tracking project tasks in alignment with stated project requirements and goals.
• Work effectively with international and diverse project teams participating from multiple locations.
• Hold kick-off meetings for all strategic projects, and potentially for smaller projects as appropriate.
• Facilitate team participation in defining and documenting project requirements, goals and success measurements. This may be accomplished through the facilitation of project workshops.
• Acquire documented business group and IT sign-off for project start, agreement of requirements and UAT/go-live readiness.
• Report on project progress in a manner that is measurable, working with the project team to develop a high-level phase or milestone schedule including a minimum of design, development, testing, and go-live.
• Track project issues, and the resolution of those issues and obstacles, to ensure that each are addressed and allow project progress to continue.
• Report on obstacles or issues that represent a risk to project success, including escalation when a project has gotten off schedule or expanded beyond the agreed upon scope, while working with the team and proposing a solution to IT management as appropriate.
• Coordinate project testing and training with both IT and Business Group Colleagues.
• Work with the project team to develop and implement the project go-live plan, to ensure a smooth implementation into production for all IT Teams and involved business groups.
• Review and record lessons-learned for all strategic projects.
• Manage consulting engagement logistics, contract/SOW review, budget, and invoicing, plus consulting resource participation in the PM functions listed above.
• Provide regular project status updates for all levels of management.

What You Bring to The Team:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Product Management, Computer Science, equivalent field, or relevant experience training and experience.
• 3 to 5 years work experience in a project management capacity, with full PM responsibility and accountability.
• Experience with a variety of enterprise systems and managing enterprise-wide projects to implement new functionality or enhance existing functionality within these systems.
• Experience with working in environments that include a mix of integrated on-premise and hosted (or cloud) enterprise solutions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• High proficiency in Windows and Windows Office applications (including Microsoft Project and SharePoint).
• Excellent problem-solving skills.

Personal Attributes:

• Experience working both independently and in a team-oriented, collaborative environment is essential.
• Flexible during times of change.
• Ability to work and communicate with stakeholders at all levels of the organization, including C-level executives.
• Strong interpersonal and team-building skills, possessing diplomacy and business judgment.
