About The Position

Forcepoint simplifies security for global businesses and governments. Forcepoint’s all-in-one, truly cloud-native platform makes it easy to adopt Zero Trust and prevent the theft or loss of sensitive data and intellectual property no matter where people are working. This role coordinates all aspects of a product or service offering project for a client, from inception to installation. Installations may involve acceptance of capitalized equipment or enterprise software systems, or system integration and consulting projects and engagements. This role is primarily tactical in nature and manages specific projects that have a distinct beginning and end. The focus is on delivering new or enhanced products and improving customer satisfaction through the use of technology. Project management skills, rather than technical skills, are key to this role, though a strong technical background is often required to manage competing interests. The position may require occasional work at the client site. The role oversees the operation of a single department or "unique entity" within the organization. A "unique entity" is defined as any function that requires management (with or without direct reports) and exists only once within the organization.

Plans, organizes, and controls resources within the department or unique entity, and participates in the creation of operating plans that support the organization's overall strategic plan.
