Job description

Transformation SWAT Project ManagerDescription –About the positionThe Transformation SWAT Project Manager is a member of an elite SWAT Team specializing in rapid issue assessment and tactical solution triage of business challenges where tactical execution is required. The HP Solutions Transformation Office is establishing a small SWAT Team to assist with the multitude of small tactical challenges we are identifying through our transformation initiatives requiring tactical resolution. Members of this team will be involved in multiple parts of our business depending on where we are having the most issues.A typical assignment starts with an identified problem, an escalation, or a known ‘hot spot’ in our business where we need a senior person sent in to help stabilize things. The first things our SWAT teams need to do is quickly get to the root of the problem. This often requires physically sitting with resources along the value chain and asking questions, listening, observing, and recording what exactly is happening – not just what we think is happening. By the nature of most process breakdowns, the ‘documented process’ is not working as expected and a more detailed view is required before we can resolve the issues. Once a problem is understood, then the SWAT team is expected to facilitate the definition of both short-term and potentially longer-term remediations, working with process experts, technology/automation experts, and other functions as required.A SWAT project manager acts with urgency and precision, manages end-to-end project execution, collaborates with cross-functional teams, and ensures that initiatives are completed on time and within scope.
