Senior Project Manager

Role Description

The Senior Project Manager, Enterprise Systems is a senior, hands-on delivery leader accountable for the end-to-end execution of large-scale, multi-phase enterprise application and business transformation programs. Operating at the intersection of business strategy, technology execution, and organizational change, this role drives predictable delivery, transparency, and measurable value realization across complex, global initiatives.

• Establish and leverage program performance metrics, dashboards, forecasting, and risk analytics to provide predictive insights and support informed decision-making.
