notes from the hiring manager:
PM Role - Working with vendors. Vendors have their own PM's. They want to come in and run their projects their own way and use their own tools and playbook. The client doesn't want to get in their way but the vendors are also not representing the client . The client needs someone to check their boxes on financial budgets and make sure the forecast are correct. Make sure the vendor is not managing the client and that the client is managing the vendor. Someone with this experience is needed here.
