o Once above TEM implementation has been completed for these Legacy Allergan OUS locations/countries, lead cleanup activities on our Corporate MobileIron instance to remove any personal devices from Client's MobileIron instance.
• Project work will be run on a global basis, covering Legacy Allergan non-US locations, consisting of roughly 75 countries.
• Working with a matrixed Client and Legacy Allergan team that will be located in various onsite and remote locations, as well as vendors which will include both Mobility Carriers, and Asignet (Client's TEM Service provider), PM will lead integration of an estimated 8,000-10,000 mobile devices.
• Experience leading Mobility projects is preferred.
