Project Manager

What it’s like to be a Northbridge Project Manager

Our Project Managers play a crucial role on our Enterprise Project Management Office. They are largely responsible for managing the timely and efficient implementation of key corporate projects which cross multiple departments. They lead all aspects of the Project Lifecycle: overseeing the definition of tasks, providing guidance in business case preparation, building and issuing project schedules, and executing the project.

They establish and direct strategic, large and often highly complex IT initiatives. They create project charters, upgrade and identify software solutions, overseeing large-scale application development, and systems integration. They manage project directives in conjunction with vendors and ensure all technical and governance standards are always met.  They are also passionate about coaching and mentoring other project leads. They deal with issues, including those related to resourcing and establish processes and mitigating strategies for managing risks.
