GENERAL DESCRIPTION

360 Advanced is searching for a dynamic, operations-focused Strategic Projects Manager (SPM). The SPM will work closely with senior leadership to identify, organize, and prioritize strategic initiatives critical to the organization, and then drive and manage those initiatives to successful completion. In this capacity, the SPM will be responsible for providing analytical support, consulting, and cross-functional implementation leadership across multiple concurrent initiatives.

As the SPM, you will gain hands-on experience scaling a growth-oriented, tech-enabled professional services company. This role provides a front-row seat to how a leadership team operates—how it identifies and selects key initiatives to support the long-term vision and strategic plan. The SPM owns and drives the execution of those initiatives, playing a critical role in bridging corporate strategy and turning key initiatives into measurable results. This position offers tremendous career growth potential, with the opportunity to evolve into an indispensable member of the leadership team.

In addition, the SPM will partner with senior leadership to establish a Project Management Office (PMO) for our client-facing project management function, ensuring accountability and consistent application of our project management methodology.

If you are adept at hard analytical and soft people skills, and able to adapt to rapidly changing business needs, then this job can provide a great deal of personal satisfaction. Strengths in business process assessment, measurement and re-engineering are key, as is the ability to leverage technology to implement business solutions.
