Project Manager
Functieomschrijving
As Project Manager you act as a sparring partner for customers. You help them transform the abstract into the concrete. You thus translate their objectives into specific research questions and a project planning, while you are always keeping in mind the ultimate goal to generate insight into highly complex markets. In accordance with the project plan agreed upon, you are then responsible for the execution of the project from a till z with all internal stakeholders. Your typical project involvement starts with capturing customer objectives and expectations during the briefing, then developing a discussion guide, analysing the available data, to being involved in the presentation of the outcome to the customer. You always make sure that you keep in close contact with both your internal and external customers in order to be able to immediately detect and discuss possible issues. Occasionally you perform field work, potentially moderating focus groups and high-level interviewing. In order to get the best result that you possibly can, it is your job deal in a very autonomous way with customer requests and at the same time to touch base with your sales consultant and the other team members at SUAZIO on a regular basis to ensure that the available company resources are used in the most effective and efficient way. Aside from the project-related tasks, you will contribute to the growth of SUAZIO by generating new business through your continuous pursuit of customer satisfaction as well as your service-oriented approach. You will also need to be willing to have a flexible schedule to accommodate both client and internal team members.
