The Opportunity:

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with deep business transformation experience to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that drive meaningful change across the organization. This role partners closely with a Program Manager in a highly collaborative “lock-step” model, forming a dynamic leadership duo that ensures strategy translates into execution.

This is a senior individual contributor role requiring strong executive presence, enterprise level experience, influence without authority, and the ability to operate effectively in ambiguity. You will work across a broad range of stakeholders- varying in experience, functional maturity, and change readiness- while driving alignment, clarity, and measurable outcomes.

 

What You Will Do:

• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex business transformation initiatives across functions
• Partner closely with a Program Manager to align on strategic direction, sequencing, and cross-program dependencies when applicable. 
• Influence stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership, through clear recommendations and structured decision-making
• Drive outcomes in environments with competing priorities and shifting expectations
• Proactively identify, assess, and manage risks and cross-functional dependencies
• Translate ambiguity into clear direction, structured plans, and focused execution
• Filter and prioritize effectively- ensuring teams are focused on the highest-impact work
• Tailor communication approaches to different audiences, particularly in transformation settings where messaging, alignment, and change adoption are critical
• Facilitate difficult conversations, align conflicting viewpoints, and maintain forward momentum
• Provide informal mentorship and guidance to Project Managers, elevating delivery standards and consistency across the PMO
• Ensure measurable results and accountability throughout the lifecycle of initiatives

Here's What We're Looking For:

• 10+ years of project management experience, including significant business transformation work
• Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional initiatives in evolving or high-growth environments
• Strong executive presence with the ability to “read the room” and adjust approach accordingly
• Expertise in risk and dependency management across multiple stakeholder groups
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and shaping direction where frameworks may not yet exist
• Big-picture thinker who connects dots across initiatives and asks the right strategic questions
• Strong prioritization instincts and judgment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for different levels of the organization
• Flexible leadership style- able to adjust approach without compromising outcomes
• Confidence to make recommendations and guide decision-making
• Ability to operate autonomously while maintaining strong partnership and alignment
