Senior Project Manager

Role Summary

The Senior Project Manager owns overall delivery execution and the client-facing program management relationship: schedule, budget, staffing, quality, risk, and stakeholder alignment. This is a standard senior program/project manager role, not tied to a specific technology stack, and is the single point of accountability to client leadership for what the program delivers, when, and at what cost.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end project planning with offshore counterpart: scope, timelines, resource allocation, and milestone tracking across multiple concurrent initiatives
• Partner with engineering leads to break down technical requirements into actionable sprints/tasks, and manage backlogs in tools like Jira or Azure DevOps
• Identify risks and blockers early; drive mitigation plans and escalate proactively to leadership
• Facilitate agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retros) and maintain project documentation
• Communicate status, timelines, and tradeoffs clearly to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders/executives
• Coordinate dependencies across engineering, QA, product, and design teams to prevent delivery bottlenecks
• Manage vendor/third-party integration timelines where applicable
• Drive continuous improvement in delivery processes (e.g., release cadence, sprint velocity, retro action items)

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of project management experience in a software/technical environment
• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile/Scrum, and/or Kanban methodologies
• Experience with project tracking tools (Jira, Asana, Azure DevOps, MS Project)
• Ability to read technical specs and engage credibly in engineering discussions (without necessarily coding)
• Excellent stakeholder management and written/verbal communication skills

Good To Have

• Experience in pharmaceutical distribution, healthcare, or another regulated industry
• Experience managing engagements with a distributed onshore/offshore delivery model
