What will you do as a Project Manager at Sqills?

As a Project Manager at Sqills, you will be part of our Customer Centric Team located in America and you will guide our North and South American clients in modelling their business processes in our industry-leading Software as a Service (SaaS) product: S3 Passenger. With S3 Passenger, you will work with the most modern sales and reservation system on the market for rail and bus operators. Do you believe you can help our clients leverage our state-of-the-art software to fulfil continuously evolving passenger needs? Then this role may be something for you!

Integrating S3 Passenger for a rail operator is a challenge. It concerns mission critical business processes that need to be modelled in a functionally rich and flexible SaaS product. Variations are endless, requiring deep analytical skills and good understanding of business processes, functionality and context of our clients. In addition, there is a portion in the larger IT ecosystem of our clients that typically requires custom integration.

As Project Manager you will lead the implementation and integration of S3 Passenger into the IT landscape of our clients. During these (at times multi-year) implementation you are the guiding and connecting force in the realisation of our projects between the clients and Sqills. In practice, this means that you manage impactful implementation projects from start to go-live; you manage the relationship (uncertainties, expectations, and information), motivate the project team members, supervise the execution of the work according to the relevant project procedures, are responsible for accurate project planning and of course ensuring that the end-result is delivered within budget. Additionally, you will partner-up with your peer Business Consultants on the project for modelling our clients’ business processes into S3 Passenger. You therefore get excited by immersing yourself in their business so that you are a fully-fledged discussion partner for all stakeholders.
