The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Stanley Black & Decker is hiring a Project Manager in Springfield, IL.

• Role description

  You know Written Communication cold; Stanley Black & Decker knows general; the Project Manager role in Springfield, IL is where those two facts meet. With $78,000 - $113,000 on the table, this manager role rewards 7 years of Presentation Skills with autonomy and team-driven growth.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Show up for the unglamorous general maintenance nobody volunteers for
  • Earn the trust to make deeply technical judgment calls without a committee
  • Turn a vague freelance mandate into work Stanley Black & Decker can measure
  • Champion a positive, collaborative culture throughout the Springfield, IL office
  • Hold Springfield vendors to the standard we promised our users
  • Carry the Interpersonal Skills thread across three time zones and two tools
  • Make general tradeoffs visible so Stanley Black & Decker can weigh them
  • Apply Decision Making and Strategic Planning to solve day-to-day operational challenges

  What You'll Bring

  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
  • A solid foundation in Written Communication, refined over 8+ years
  • Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
  • A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
  • Hands-on proficiency with Strategic Planning, ideally paired with Interpersonal Skills
  • Demonstrated calm when a Springfield, IL client changes scope mid-stream

  Stanley Black & Decker is a deeply-curious, fiercely independent Springfield company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole general project.

  Beyond $78,000 - $113,000, Stanley Black & Decker offers a generous benefits package and the chance to lead projects that build your skills.
