THE OPPORTUNITY

We are seeking a seasoned Senior Project Manager who is equally at home in an executive boardroom, a client-facing workshop, a cross-functional sprint, and a conversation about AI-driven transformation. This is a senior, highly visible role at the intersection of strategy, technology, and delivery — built for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, wears many hats without losing focus, and genuinely believes that the best outcomes happen when smart people are aligned and empowered.

 

You will own and drive the most critical, complex, and high-impact programs across a diverse portfolio — partnering with senior leadership, client stakeholders, global engineering teams, and cross-functional team members to deliver outcomes that move the client's business forward. You will also serve as an organizational champion for AI, helping the team leverage emerging tools and capabilities to work smarter and deliver more value.

 

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Program Leadership & Delivery

  • Drive end-to-end strategy, execution, and delivery of large-scale, client-critical programs across multiple workstreams
  • Lead program delivery timeline, budgets, and resource plans — keeping everything moving in fast-changing environments
  • Proactively manage risks, dependencies, escalations, and decisions across cross-functional programs
  • Drive accountability and alignment with senior client leadership on objectives, priorities, milestones, and success metrics
  • Jump in wherever needed — from facilitating a working session to unblocking a technical dependency to drafting an executive update

 

Client & Stakeholder Excellence

  • Serve as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for executive leadership, clients, and cross-functional teams
  • Deliver clear, confident, and concise executive communications, status updates, and strategic presentations — tailored to the audience
  • Lead stakeholder alignment sessions, executive reviews, and program governance forums with polish and presence
  • Translate complex technical and operational realities into business language that drives decisions, not just awareness
  • Build strong, lasting relationships across client stakeholders and internal cross-functional global team

 

AI Championship & Innovation

  • Champion AI across Project Management day to day activities
  • Partner with technical teams to translate AI capabilities into real business value, scalable adoption, and first-in-class deliverables
  • Promote AI tools, frameworks, and best practices across project team; build internal confidence and fluency where it does not yet exist

 

Technical Fluency & Collaboration

  • Bridge the gap between global technical teams and onshore team members, ensuring both sides are heard, aligned, and moving together
  • Support technical problem-solving throughout the program lifecycle without needing to be the hands-on engineer
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and architecture teams on complex integrations, system design decisions, and technical trade-offs
  • Demonstrate working knowledge of modern technology ecosystems like cloud pl
