Senior Project Manager

About the Role

Manage the full project lifecycle for IT initiatives, including AI, infrastructure, security, and enterprise applications. Coordinate cross-functional teams, own financial governance, and ensure delivery across multiple workstreams.

Responsibilities

• Manage full project lifecycle: charter, plan, RACI, risk register, and reporting for IT projects.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams across multi-workstream programs.
• Own project financials—budget, resourcing, and cost governance with IT FinOps.
• Lead sprint planning and release management for AI initiatives (AVA AI, multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, Internal AI).
• Track technical debt, build failures, and dependency risks with engineering leads.
• Own project plans and resourcing for migrations, dashboard delivery, and other initiatives.
• Partner with Infrastructure on network, systems, cloud, and endpoint projects.
• Partner with CISO on security/compliance projects (audits, risk remediation, access governance), applying the same rigor as AI initiatives.
• Connect PM layer across IT sub-functions, managing cross-team dependencies (apps, data, AI, infrastructure, security).
• Facilitate steering committee updates; escalate risks proactively.
• Run Agile ceremonies via Kaleris PMO application and maintain roadmaps.
• Drive change management, UAT, and go-live readiness.
• Track sprint velocity, release readiness, and adoption metrics.
• Report portfolio status and financials to CIO/ELT/SLT.
• Translate stakeholder requirements into backlog items.
• Maintain relationships with stakeholders and team leads.
• Contribute to PMO governance standards and templates.

Requirements

• 7–10+ years of IT project management experience, including proven experience concurrently managing three or more delivery tracks across enterprise applications (Salesforce/ERP/Certinia), AI/data platform initiatives, BI/analytics platforms, infrastructure, and security/compliance programs.
• Familiarity with Azure (AI Foundry, DevOps, Key Vault, App Service) and GitHub-based CI/CD workflows.
• Strong command of Jira/Confluence and project management tools for Agile execution tracking across multiple concurrent workstreams.
• Demonstrated ability to serve as the single accountable PM across three or more simultaneous cross-domain tracks (applications, infrastructure, AI/BI, and/or security), rather than sequential or single-domain projects.
• Familiarity with IT security/compliance project constructs (audit remediation, access reviews, risk registers) sufficient to manage timelines and stakeholder communication.
• Excellent stakeholder management, written/verbal communication, and executive reporting skills.
• PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, or SAFe certification preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience owning project artifacts (deployment guides, stage-gate/risk reviews).
• Experience working alongside CISO/security teams on compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar).
• Exposure to infrastructure/cloud operations projects (network, identity, endpoint, or data center/cloud migration).
• Experience operating within a growing/scaling PMO function, including building or refining governance templates.

Skills

• Proven ability to run three or more concurrent delivery tracks simultaneously—spanning applications, AI, data, infrastructure, and security—without dedicated track-specific support staff.
• Strong project delivery governance instincts—comfortable owning risk/compliance checkpoints, not just schedules.
• Executive-level communication and stakeholder influence.
• Comfort operating at the intersection of business process and emerging technology (AI/BI).
• Strong risk and dependency management instincts, including in security and compliance contexts.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in IT, Business, Data Analytics, or related field.
