Project Manager

About the role

At Sand Cherry Associates, we excel in the design and delivery of strategic customer-centric initiatives through digitally native, data-empowered solutions. Our client's confidence in us is centered on exceptionally skilled, high-energy talent working with the support of the full Sand Cherry team. Finding the right match for this role is a critical aspect of continuing that success.

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to support the rollout of one of our client's largest and most complex digital transformation initiatives.

The Project Manager will work closely with the Program Lead, franchise owners, and cross-functional Data, Product, and technical teams to ensure each franchise is prepared for a successful launch. Because rollout waves will overlap, this role will simultaneously support franchises in hypercare while preparing the next cohort for rollout.

This is a remote opportunity working EST hours. Limited periodic travel may be required, including occasional travel with program leadership to gain firsthand exposure to the franchise rollout process. All qualified candidates must be authorized to work without visa sponsorship or visa transfers. Please note that we do not work C2C.
