Role Overview:

Manage the scope, schedule, budget, and risks of client projects from planning through closeout while serving as the primary point of contact for clients, internal teams, and vendor partners. Engage early to clarify scope, align delivery expectations, and surface risks; build schedules, phase deliveries, and lead coordination meetings. Plan and price installation labor in-market; source and negotiate out-of-market labor; manage vendor performance and product readiness. Communicate status and decisions clearly, resolve issues quickly, and deliver a consistent, high-quality client experience that meets expectations and supports profitability.

Key Responsibilities:

Project Leadership & Planning

• Own scope, schedule, budget, and risk management for small-to-large/complex projects; serve as the primary liaison between clients, contractors, and internal teams.
• Ensure alignment and communication across all project phases — from design validation through site readiness, installation, and closeout — to maintain a consistent and positive client experience.
• Engage early with clients and Sales during planning and kickoff to clarify scope, align delivery expectations, and identify risks; build and maintain project schedules, coordinate delivery phasing, lead meetings, and develop labor quotes and operational plans aligned to budget.

Vendor & Resource Management

• Develop in-market labor quotes, staffing plans, and installation resource schedules; for out-of-market work, request, analyze, and negotiate labor proposals from third-party providers.
• Coordinate with required trades (electrical, cabling, AV, general trades) and manage vendor performance, including tracking delivery status/readiness of procured products to keep projects on schedule and aligned with client expectations.
• Manage budget-to-actuals across labor, vendor costs, and product flow; recommend corrective actions to protect margin and timeline.

Site Readiness & Installation

• Review plans and specifications to proactively identify site risks or readiness gaps (critical dimensions, structural requirements, pathways, mounting details, cable routing, product compatibility) to prevent delays, rework, and client-facing issues.
• Conduct site evaluations, pre-installation walkthroughs, and field measurements; schedule and facilitate pre-installation meetings to clearly communicate requirements, sequencing, timing, and responsibilities.
• Oversee onsite execution through completion, managing approved changes and resolving installation or product challenges promptly to maintain schedule and client satisfaction.

Closeout & Quality

• Lead punch list walkthroughs; document action items; ensure timely resolution and secure final client sign-off.
• Communicate closeout status, remaining tasks, and next steps clearly to clients and stakeholders; provide concise project summaries as needed.
• Confirm client experience standards at handoff—readiness, accuracy, cleanliness, documentation—and identify follow-on needs or future oppo
