The Role

At Kyndryl, we don't just manage projects—we create lasting partnerships and deliver transformative results for our clients. As a SOC Project Manager, you’ll be at the heart of it all, overseeing the delivery of cutting-edge security operations projects that ensure the resilience and security of our clients' digital ecosystems. You’ll be the driving force behind every project, working directly with clients and teams to deliver on time, on budget, and with top-tier quality.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading the Delivery of Major SOC Projects: You’ll be responsible for overseeing the entire lifecycle of security operations projects. From initial planning and risk management to resource allocation and final delivery, you’ll be the go-to person ensuring that everything runs smoothly. You’ll work closely with stakeholders, managing expectations and ensuring that all aspects of the project are executed with precision. Your project plans will be your roadmap, but your flexibility and ability to adapt to changes will make sure the project stays on track no matter what.

• Managing Teams, Timelines, and Resources: As the main point of contact for the client, you’ll be coordinating cross-functional teams, including technical experts and account managers, to make sure each team member is aligned and working toward the same goals. Your calendar will be packed with meetings, but you’ll make sure everything is running efficiently. You’ll lead status calls, planning sessions, and cadence meetings, ensuring that the project is always moving forward and that any potential roadblocks are addressed quickly. You’ll also be responsible for managing project finances, ensuring that the project stays within budget and that resources are allocated effectively.

• Building Strong Client Relationships and Managing Stakeholder Communication: Communication is key in this role. You’ll be the client’s trusted advisor, serving as the main point of contact for all things project-related. You’ll build and nurture strong relationships with stakeholders, ensuring that their needs are met and expectations exceeded. You’ll also be the bridge between the client and internal teams, making sure that communication flows smoothly and that everyone is aligned on project goals. Your diplomatic approach to handling customer change requests will ensure that clients feel heard and supported at every stage.

This role also offers immense potential for career growth. Whether you see yourself becoming a senior project manager, a program manager, or transitioning into a technical service architect, Kyndryl provides the platform for you to expand your skill set and explore a variety of career paths. You’ll gain hands-on experience, earn professional certifications, and build relationships that will last a lifetime.
