Global Process and Project Management

Strategic context



atrain is a globally operating HR consultancy, supporting companies and leaders to successfully master the challenges of today’s fast-paced and volatile business environment.

Our portfolio spans across organizational, team-level and
Individual solutions are all designed to provide people with the conditions to break through and realize their true human potential.

Tailoring our solutions to our customers’ needs has always been an integral part of atrain’s identity and value proposition.

As such, Account Managers and Customer Teams enjoyed maximum autonomy to craft solutions from a content and delivery process perspective. This resulted in a very fragmented landscape of approaches and practices around how we deliver customer projects.

While our solution portfolio was consolidated into 9 key solutions areas (“big 9”), there is still no consolidated process landscape or aligned project management approach.
To scale our business but also to ensure top quality as well as efficiency in delivery, your role focuses on developing and implementing an aligned process and project management approach and fostering lean thinking and continuous improvement within the community of Project Managers and the entire company.

Given the outlined history, managing change in a self-organized environment (without formal authority) will be a key change management challenge.
We are breaking up the boundaries between our US and European customer and support function teams and strive to collaborate within one global, team-based ecosystem in the future. Facilitating the alignment of the process and tool landscape across our entities will be a key contribution of your role to this endeavor.
