Responsibilities

1. Delivery & Schedule Management

• Own and maintain the integrated project plan across Product, Engineering, Data, QA, Infrastructure, and Go-to-Market workstreams.
• Establish and manage phase-gate milestones, release dates, and critical-path activities .

Success in this role means

• Milestones are predictable and phase gates are achieved or proactively re-baselined.
• Risks are visible early , with clear ownership and mitigation.
• Budget and cloud/vendor spend are controlled with no surprise variances.
• Dependencies are actively managed , rather than discovered late.
• Product, Engineering, Data, QA, and Go-to-Market teams remain aligned.
• Executives have a clear, accurate view of program health and decisions required.
• Major decisions and trade-offs are documented and auditable .
• The platform reaches launch with technical, operational, commercial, and customer readiness aligned .

Role Positioning

This is an execution and orchestration role. The Senior Project Manager does not own the product roadmap, technical architecture, or business case; instead, they ensure the people who own those areas are aligned, accountable, and delivering against an integrated plan.

AI Use in Hiring

As part of our hiring process, this role may use artificial intelligence or automated tools to assist with reviewing and screening applications. These tools support, but do not replace, human judgment in making hiring decisions.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience managing complex software, technology, or data-platform programs, including at least 3 years leading multi-workstream programs with executive visibility .
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of program schedule, budget, dependencies, risks, and delivery outcomes for programs of comparable scope. This should be direct ownership—not coordination support for another project manager’s plan.
• Experience delivering programs in a regulated environment , where audit trails, evidence, documentation, and traceability are core delivery requirements.
• Strong experience running Agile delivery at scale alongside phase-gated executive governance , with the ability to translate between Agile execution and executive-level milestones and decisions.

• Data/model governance
• Four-year degree or equivalent professional experience.
• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program/project management certification .

You have personally owned complex delivery commitments, know how to surface problems before they become surprises, and can move comfortably between Agile teams, executive governance, customer commitments, and business-level outcomes .

You bring the structure needed to make a complex, cross-functional technology program predictable, transparent, and accountable .
