Project Manager

Many service members transition into civilian careers as project managers because the nature and scope of responsibilities are very similar. A project manager is typically responsible for the planning, procurement, and execution of a project and is usually the initial point of contact for the ultimate success of the project as well as any discrepancies or issues. A commissioned or senior non-commissioned officer, like a project manager, will have experience managing a team and will be able to best deploy the expertise of each person on their team as well as direct their essential roles and overall chemistry.
