Senior Project Manager

What You Will Own 

End-to-End Project Accountability 

• Own delivery of complex IT initiatives from initiation through closure 

• Develop detailed, executable project plans with clear milestones, dependencies, financial tracking, and risk mitigation strategies 

• Ensure alignment between business objectives, technical execution, and enterprise governance standards 

Hybrid Delivery Leadership 

• Operate within waterfall governance while coordinating closely with Agile development teams 

• Translate sprint-level execution into accurate enterprise-level forecasts and reporting 

• Ensure Agile delivery progress aligns with overall project timelines and funding commitments 

• Proactively manage cross-team dependencies across business, infrastructure, security, data, and development workstreams 

Risk, Discipline & Transparency 

• Maintain rigorous and current RAID logs, financial tracking, and status reporting 

• Surface risks early with clear mitigation paths and decision requirements 

• Drive structured change control when scope, timelines, or budgets shift 

• Eliminate surprises through proactive communication and disciplined oversight 

AI & Emerging Technology Initiatives 

• Lead or support initiatives involving AI, automation, analytics, and data platforms 

• Demonstrate curiosity and initiative in understanding AI-driven delivery considerations (data readiness, model iteration, evolving requirements) 

• Adapt planning approaches to support initiatives where experimentation and structured governance must coexist 

Experience & Capabilities 

• 6–10 years leading enterprise IT projects in complex environments 

• Experience delivering projects using waterfall, Agile, or hybrid approaches; exposure to both strongly preferred 

• Demonstrated ability to manage hybrid environments where governance is structured and development is iterative 

• Strong expertise in schedule management, financial tracking, and dependency management

• Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority 

• Strong written and executive-level communication skills 

• Experience supporting AI, automation, analytics, or data-driven initiatives preferred 

• Demonstrated learning agility and interest in emerging technologies 

Candidates with deep strength in either waterfall or Agile delivery who demonstrate strong execution discipline and readiness to operate in a hybrid model will be considered. 

Certifications (Preferred) 

• PMP preferred but not required 

• Agile certifications (e.g., Scrum Master, SAFe, PMI-ACP) a plus 

Who Will Thrive in This Role 

• Structured, proactive problem-solvers 

• Project managers who take personal ownership of outcomes 

• Leaders who surface issues early rather than manage optics 

• Professionals who value clarity, documentation, and accountability 

Who May Struggle 

• PMs who rely heavily on others to drive execution 

• Individuals uncomfortable operating with both structure and ambiguity 

• Those who prefer methodology theory over delivery outcomes
