Senior IT Project Manager

Role Description

Ready to help shape how WD-40 sells and serves customers around the world? We're seeking a collaborative, results-driven Senior IT Project Manager to lead high-visibility Commercial Services initiatives — including our Salesforce Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud platforms — that directly power our global growth strategy. You'll partner with sales, marketing, and customer-facing leaders across the organization to turn strategy into action, with a direct hand in projects the business is counting on right now.

This isn't a maintain-the-status-quo role. You'll inherit an active backlog and real momentum, with the latitude to shape how the work gets done going forward. As our Salesforce platform continues expanding globally, you'll gain exposure to teams and markets well beyond the U.S., and you'll have the opportunity to mentor rising project management talent while helping strengthen and evolve WD-40's Project & Portfolio Management practices within our Global Center of Excellence.

The ideal candidate is a trusted advisor and driver of outcomes who can translate complex technical detail into plain language for fast-moving, high-energy business stakeholders — and who thrives on turning ambiguity into a clear, actionable plan.

This role offers the flexibility to work fully remote from anywhere in the U.S., or hybrid a couple days a week if you're based in the San Diego area.
