Project Specialist

Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

Kyndryl Project Specialists play a critical role in delivering successful projects and programs to our Kyndryl customers. We support our customers’ transformation visions through the delivery of many interconnected, related projects. Each one of these projects needs to deliver the intended outcome and project specialists are at the heart of making this happen.
As Project Specialist at Kyndryl, you will provide support for one or more projects at a time, often working within a project office environment, to deliver successful project outcomes to your customer. As the name implies, you will focus on a particular aspect of the project – such as planning, scheduling, or issue & risk tracking – as you build skills working under a project or program manager. As you build skills, you will move into other aspects of delivering a successful project, with a goal of preparing to lead projects on your own.
You’re going to be meeting a lot of people, networking, and forging relationships. As part of our vibrant project management community, you will have opportunities to connect with your peers, sharing expertise both locally and globally. This is one of the things Kyndryls love about working here. It’s a great way to hone your people skills, and it lays the groundwork for career growth both laterally and vertically.
