Description

Unified Communication Specialist/Technical Project Manager

One of my key clients, based in Brussels, are looking for a Unified Communication Specialist with good experience as a Technical Project Manager. As a specialist in Unified Communication you will have knowledge of Video conferencing, Cisco, Jabber, Skype, WebEx, etc

You will join the Network Managed Service Program that started last year: They ran an RFP process to select a single partner that would take over the management of their network (currently handled by multiple local partners) in a "Managed Services" at regional level. A partner has now been selected to be their provider of Network Managed Services, and Unified Communication is one of the streams of the network service transfer to this partner.

As the Unified Communications Specialist/Technical Project Manager you will manage that particular stream and oversee the transfer of those Unified Communication services (Video conferencing, Cisco Jabber, Skype, WebEx, etc ) to the selected partner management for every one of my client's sites across Europe. This activity has already started but it is not being sufficiently managed and they are now looking for someone dedicated specifically to this stream of the program.

In this role, you won't be able to rely on a team of technical experts to get the job done, you need to be quite hands on, autonomous and able to get things moving yourself. An example of this is because the former network service providers have now completely disengaged, and there is little design documentation available. This means that as the PM you will have to roll-up your sleeves to assemble whatever documentation can be made available by different sources, and pass them to the new partner.

In summary, the perfect candidate will have a 50/50 mix between hands-on technical knowledge and project management skills. You should be equally able and willing to configure a Router, give training to end users, and report on project progress to senior stakeholders.

To be suitable for this role you will have:

- Extensive experience in and knowledge of Unified Communication
- Significant IT Project Manager experience
o Autonomy
o Drive
o Stakeholder Management
o Planning
o Reporting and budgeting skills

Start Date: Immediate
Contract Length: 6 months +++
Location: Brussels
Languages: English
Rate: €600 - €800/day

Extensive experience with Unified Communications is crucial for this role, so please only apply if this is something you have done a lot of work with.

My client is looking to interview for this role immediately so if you are interested please get in touch ASAP with an up to date version of your CV. Also, feel free to give me a call.
