Job Description:
Who We AreAt 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 RoleKyndryl Project Managers oversee the delivery
of major projects within scope, schedule, and budget. You'll be the
driving force for every aspect of a program's success, and the
"conductor" who orchestrates everyone's efforts to make beautiful
music together. As the single point of contact to the client,
you'll also be the living embodiment of Kyndryl's reputation every
day.As Project Manager, you have command of a very full and
detail-oriented calendar. You'll be constructing detailed project
plans, managing teams, and leading meetings, status calls, and
planning and cadence meetings. You will analyze and mitigate risks,
manage finances, make sure the team has the right skills, then plan
and delegate activity to hit deadlines, deliver on SLAs, and
generally delight our clients. Of course, plans often evolve as a
project unfolds, so you'll need to practice continuous structural
thinking and take ownership for value delivery, not just task
scheduling.But as important as planning and organization are,
communication is 90% of the job. You're the single point of contact
with the client, partners, and all stakeholders, supporting them
and ensuring they get what they need. You're also the bridge to
every other team on the project, including both technical and
account roles. The result is an exciting multicultural, often
multilingual environment. Bottom line: You need to like
interactions with other people and know how to be kind and
empathetic but also assertive - and handle customer change requests
with diplomacy.You're going to be meeting a lot of people,
networking, and forging relationships. Our "one team with the
customer" concept means you'll develop especially strong
partnerships with the client and elsewhere. Some projects or
clients even involve "embedding" with the client at their location.
This puts more visibility on you personally, but it also gives you
more opportunity to add value to the relationship. This is one of
the things Kyndryls love about working here. It's a great way to
hone your service and people skills, and it lays the groundwork for
career growth both laterally and vertically.Your future at
KyndrylBecoming a Project Manager at Kyndryl is an excellent
gateway to many different paths. You'll be creating a well-rounded

move vertically to become a senior project manager or program
manager. There are many different types and flavors of PM roles, so
