Position Description We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead complex, cross‑functional programs critical to organizational transformation, including enterprise platforms, data initiatives, and infrastructure modernization. The role requires a strategic thinker who can operate at both the executive and delivery levels—driving alignment, managing risk, and ensuring high‑quality outcomes across projects and programs.

Drive disciplined execution across the full SDLC, including discovery, design, development, testing, and deployment
Ensure alignment between business requirements, technical delivery, and strategic objectives
Stakeholder & Executive Engagement

Facilitate decision‑making in complex or ambiguous environments
Build strong relationships across business, technical, and research stakeholders

Partner with stakeholders to define and refine business requirements in complex or evolving environments
Ensure traceability from requirements through delivery and validation
Support business case development and value realization tracking
Financial & Vendor Management
Manage program budgets, forecasts, and resource plans (including internal and external labor)
Develop and manage vendor relationships, including SOWs, deliverables, and performance tracking
Drive accountability for financial performance, including CapEx/OpEx considerations and forecasting accuracy
Risk, Issue & Change Management
Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate program‑level risks and dependencies
Lead issue resolution and escalation, particularly in high‑pressure or ambiguous situations
Drive organizational change management and user adoption for major initiatives
Minimum Qualifications Program & Delivery Expertise
8+ years of experience managing complex IT and business transformation programs
Proven experience delivering large‑scale initiatives such as ERP implementations, ServiceNow deployments, cloud transformations (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS), or DevSecOps initiatives
Strong command of project and program management methodologies (PMBOK, Agile/Scrum, hybrid approaches)
Technical & SDLC Fluency
Solid understanding of application development, system architecture, integrations, and infrastructure (cloud/on‑prem/hybrid)
Hands‑on experience managing full SDLC delivery across multiple projects
Business & Financial Acumen
Experience managing program budgets, forecasting, variances and estimates to completion
Ability to develop business cases and align delivery to measurable outcomes that capture value delivery
Leadership & Influence
