What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Functional Project Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Functional Project Manager, you need strong project management skills, business process knowledge, and usually a relevant degree or certification such as PMP or PRINCE2. Familiarity with project management software (like MS Project or Jira), workflow tools, and enterprise systems (such as SAP or Oracle) is essential. Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills help drive cross-functional teams and manage stakeholder expectations. These skills and qualities ensure that projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with business objectives.

How does a Functional Project Manager typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a project lifecycle?

A Functional Project Manager plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between different departments, such as IT, operations, and business units, throughout a project. They facilitate communication, align goals, and ensure that all stakeholders are informed about project progress and changes. Collaboration often involves leading regular meetings, managing expectations, and resolving conflicts to keep the project on track. This role requires balancing technical requirements with business objectives, making strong interpersonal and organizational skills essential for success.

What are Functional Project Managers?

Functional Project Managers are professionals who oversee projects within a specific business function, such as IT, finance, or human resources. They are responsible for planning, executing, and finalizing projects according to deadlines and within budget, while ensuring that the project aligns with the goals of their functional area. Unlike general project managers, they often have specialized knowledge in the area they manage, allowing them to coordinate effectively with both project teams and department stakeholders. Their role typically includes resource allocation, risk management, and communication between technical and non-technical teams.

  • Direct field construction activities, managing contractor performance, holding teams accountable for quality schedule adherence and safety compliance.
  • Develop and implement risk mitigation and contingency plans; escalate critical risks to leadership with recommended course of action.
  • Serve as the primary representative for all assigned projects; maintain strong trust-based relationships with vendors, customers and leadership.
  • Present project performance reports to executive leadership as well as lead regular project status meetings with stakeholders.
  • Lead and mentor Project Coordinators, construction and engineering staff assigned to projects; provide clear direction, feedback and professional development support.
  • Conduct post-project reviews to capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous improvement of PMO processes and standards.
  • Establish and enforce quality standards for all project deliverables; coordinate inspections, and acceptance testing.
  • This job description covers the most crucial key and supplemental duties performed in the position, but does not include other occasional work, which may be similar, related to, or a logical assignment for the position. Other projects will be assigned as needed.

QUALIFICATIONS:
  • High school diploma or GED required; Associates or Bachelors degree in Construction Management or Business Administration, Telecommunications or related field, preferred.
  • 2-5 years of experience in project management, with a professional certification strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with fiber optic network terminology and OSP construction processes, preferred.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams) and project management platforms such as Smartsheet, MS Project or similar.
  • Attention to detail in documentation preparation, data entry and record keeping.
  • Solid organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple active projects simultaneously and meet details in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to learn new software and applications specific to the industry and position.
  • Positive attitude and strong work ethic as this is a high productivity position with a large degree of autonomy.
  • Problem solving skills.

A Great Fit Will Be Someone Who:
  • Takes ownership of projects and follows them through to completion
  • Communicates clearly and leads by example
  • Thrives in a collaborative, small-company environment where teamwork is essential
  • Shares DFN's commitment to customer-first service and community impact
