This role is accountable for project execution outcomes:  including scope, schedule, budget, quality, and stakeholder satisfaction, but does not have people management responsibilities.

The Senior Project Manager works cross‑functionally with sales, operations, engineering, vendors, and clients to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in alignment with defined business requirements.

    • Develop and manage integrated program plans, milestones, and dependencies across projects and regions. Coordinate project managers and teams to ensure alignment and on-time delivery.
  • Governance & Reporting
    • Establish governance frameworks, reporting cadences, and escalation paths. Provide regular status updates, including progress, risks, and key decisions, to senior leadership and customer stakeholders.
  • Financial Management
    • Manage project budgets, track costs, and monitor financial performance. Identify risks and implement mitigation strategies.
  • Risk & Issue Management
    • Maintain program-level risk and issue tracking. Proactively manage dependencies and escalate critical issues as needed.
  • Stakeholder & Resource Management
    • Act as the primary liaison across stakeholders, teams, and leadership. Ensure effective communication, collaboration, and resource alignment across projects.
  • Continuous Improvement
    • Drive process improvements, enhance program governance, and capture lessons learned to improve future delivery.

REQUIREMENTS:  
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field.
  • 8–12 years of project management experience, including 3–5 years leading large-scale, complex, multi-site projects or programs (e.g., national or enterprise rollouts).

  • Demonstrated ability to lead execution through influence without direct authority over teams.
