Senior Project Manager

Key Responsibilities 

• Manage full project lifecycle (charter, plan, RACI, risk register, 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 projects, migrations, and dashboard delivery. 

• Partner with Infrastructure on network, systems, cloud, and endpoint initiatives. 

• Partner with CISO on security/compliance projects (audits, risk remediation, access governance), applying the same governance 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. 

Required Qualifications 

• 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 tool 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. 

Core Competencies 

• 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. 

Education 

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