"Prior to managing projects for CX organizations, I was a project manager for a SaaS organization that developed technology for healthcare providers. Every project I managed in my five years there was cross-functional and IT related.
In my current role, most of my projects have an IT component. My teams are typically cross-functional and we always need to consider how the goals of our project will be supported by technology. It is rare that a project does not impact our ERP or CRM systems in some way. I have led teams with engineers, IT analysts, data analysts, QA analysts, UX designers, and architects. I feel confident I can effectively lead cross-functional project teams with members who work in IT roles if selected for the customer experience program manager role."
