Hi there, we’re Article. 👋 We’re a North American-based furniture company creating remarkably better furniture experiences one sofa at a time. As the Project Manager at Article, you will play a crucial role in managing and steering the success of operational projects and investment projects across the organization.
Why We Need You:
In the Project Management Office (PMO) team, your responsibilities will span the entire project lifecycle, from initiation and planning through to execution, closure, and subsequent post-project analysis. Additionally, you will cultivate and maintain strong relationships with all the internal and external suppliers, playing a crucial role in the successful delivery of high-impact, cross-functional projects. You will be managing million dollar new product introduction projects that expand Article's catalogue and product offering to our customers under the Assortment Program.
Why Article?
While, we sell to the North American market, we work closely with a number of our manufacturing partners throughout Asia. As a result, we have an office in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where we currently have over 60 Particles (people of Article) working.
As a Particle (people of Article), you will have a high level of autonomy to solve challenging, meaningful problems the best way you can. That means you’re trusted to explore solutions you believe will work best (you’re the expert, after all). You’ll do all this while growing your skills within a company that is redefining the furniture industry.
What You’ll Do:
You’ll be part of a team of 7 Project Managers and Project Owners to develop detailed plans to meet their specific project objectives, and actively manage and report on any deviations in project timelines and budgets.
- Lead the planning, execution, monitoring and closure of cross-functional projects that support the internal customers’ organizational goals and objectives.
- Identify, assess, and track project risks, collaborating with internal and external cross-functional suppliers to develop and implement effective mitigation strategies.
- Monitor project timelines and milestones using project management tools (eg. Wrike) to ensure all projects are delivered on time and within scope.
- Conduct root cause analysis for issues identified during project execution and consult on corrective actions undertaken by internal functional suppliers to address and improve overall project performance.
- Manage changes to project scope, schedule, and budget baselines ensuring continuous communication and alignment with all relevant cross-functional project team members.
- Establish and maintain strong working relationships with internal customers and suppliers to understand their needs and constraints.
- Conduct post-project retrospectives to capture lessons learned, enabling continuous improvement of PMO best practices and facilitating identification of improvement opportunities for cross-functional teams.
- Analyze and report on project variance and other performance metrics to assess and communicate project health.
- Develop comprehensive project status reports, maintaining transparency and providing timely updates to all stakeholders.
