Project Manager (JP)

1. End-to-end Project Management 

- Lead project planning, kickoff, execution, monitoring, delivery, acceptance, and project closure. 

- Define and maintain project scope, WBS, schedule, milestones, deliverables, budget, resource plan, and communication plan. 

- Manage multiple projects in parallel or one medium-to-large project, with expected control scope equivalent to 15-30 members or 3+ concurrent projects, depending on assignment. 

- Ensure project delivery follows the agreed methodology: Waterfall, Agile/Scrum, hybrid, or Japanese SI-style delivery process. 

2. Japanese Client Communication & Stakeholder Management 

- Act as the main delivery contact point for Japanese clients, client PM/PL, onsite members, and internal management. 

- Facilitate regular meetings, requirement confirmation, progress reporting, issue discussion, steering committee preparation, and decision alignment in Japanese. 

- Manage client expectations proactively, especially around scope change, delivery risk, quality trade-offs, priority, and acceptance conditions. 

- Communicate with logic, data, and options rather than simply reporting problems. 

3. QCD, Risk, Issue & Change Control 

- Own QCD performance: quality, cost/effort, delivery timeline, and customer satisfaction. 

- Track progress, effort, defect status, productivity, risk, dependency, and delivery confidence using clear metrics. 

- Identify risks early, escalate at the right timing, propose mitigation plans, and follow through until closure. 

- Control change requests, impact analysis, re-estimation, approval flow, and baseline updates. 

4. Requirement, Design & Delivery Governance 

- Work with BrSE, BA, SA, Tech Lead, QA Lead, and development members to clarify requirements and ensure requirement-design-test traceability. 

- Review key delivery artifacts at management level: project plan, requirement clarification list, design plan, test plan, defect report, release plan, and acceptance evidence. 

- Ensure deliverables meet Japanese client expectations for clarity, completeness, consistency, and business logic accuracy. 

- Maintain governance rhythm with minimum bureaucracy: concise reporting, clear ownership, decision log, risk log, and escalation path. 

5. Team Leadership & People Development 

- Lead, motivate, and coordinate cross-functional teams including BrSE/BA, developers, QA, Tech Lead, and partner resources. 

- Assign clear responsibilities, monitor workload, remove blockers, and build a stable delivery rhythm. 

- Coach PM1/PL or key members through regular 1:1, review sessions, and project retrospectives. 

- Contribute to team retention, knowledge sharing, and delivery culture improvement. 

6. Presales, Estimation & Account Growth Support 

- Support or lead estimation, proposal input, delivery approach definition, resource planning, and risk assessment for new opportunities. 

- Join client discussions during presales when delivery feasibility, project structure, QCD, or offshore operation model needs clarification. 

- Identify upsell or cross-sell opportunities from current projects and coordinate with Sales/Account Manager and Delivery Manager. 

7. AI-assisted Project Management & Process Improvement 

- Use AI tools appropriately for meeting summary, risk analysis, document drafting, translation support, test/review planning, and reporting improvement. 

- Promote practical AI-assisted delivery habits in the team while understanding confidentiality, accuracy, and governance risks. 

- Contribute to delivery process standardization, templates, lessons learned, and continuous improvement.
