What does a special projects manager do?

A special projects manager organizes, leads, and helps execute company projects that may fall outside the scope of regular duties. The specific responsibilities and purpose of projects vary, depending on the industry and type of organization. As a special projects manager, you ensure the scope of the project fits the budget and that staff complete each phase of the project within the scheduled timeline. Many special projects managers work their way up from lower-level positions once they have several years of experience in the industry.
