About the Role

Robert Half is proud to partner with a forward-thinking client in Mount Prospect, Illinois, who is embarking on an exciting digital transformation journey. For nearly a decade, they've relied on a legacy solution, but now they're modernizing with Salesforce Field Service Lightning – a cutting-edge platform designed to streamline field service operations, enhance customer satisfaction, and drive operational efficiency. We're seeking a seasoned Project Manager to join this high-impact initiative as the client-side lead. In this pivotal role, you'll collaborate hand-in-hand with a trusted third-party vendor, ensuring every project milestone, timeline, and deliverable is met with precision and excellence.

Working primarily remotely, you'll travel onsite approximately five times for critical milestones, fostering strong relationships and hands-on oversight where it matters most. If you thrive in fast-paced settings, excel at vendor coordination, and have a passion for Salesforce technologies, this Project Manager role at our client's organization via Robert Half offers the perfect blend of challenge, autonomy, and reward. Join us in delivering transformative results that will redefine how field services are managed for years to come.
