About the role
- We are seeking a seasoned Senior Project Manager who is equally at home in an executive boardroom, a client-facing workshop, a cross-functional sprint, and a conversation about AI-driven transformation.
Responsibilities
- Drive end-to-end strategy, execution, and delivery of large-scale, client-critical programs across multiple workstreams
- Lead program delivery timeline, budgets, and resource plans - keeping everything moving in fast-changing environments
- Proactively manage risks, dependencies, escalations, and decisions across cross-functional programs
- Drive accountability and alignment with senior client leadership on objectives, priorities, milestones, and success metrics
- Deliver clear, confident, and concise executive communications, status updates, and strategic presentations - tailored to the audience
- Lead stakeholder alignment sessions, executive reviews, and program governance forums with polish and presence
- Translate complex technical and operational realities into business language that drives decisions, not just awareness
- Partner with technical teams to translate AI capabilities into real business value, scalable adoption, and first-in-class deliverables
- Promote AI tools, frameworks, and best practices across project team; build internal confidence and fluency where it does not yet exist
- Support technical problem-solving throughout the program lifecycle without needing to be the hands-on engineer
Requirements
- 10+ years of program/project management experience in complex, technology-driven environments
- Proven track record delivering large-scale digital transformation, product, or cross-functional technology initiatives
- You are equally comfortable in a client meeting, a technical architecture review, and an executive status call - and you read the room in all three
- If you are the kind of person who brings calm to the chaos, brings clarity to the complex, and brings out the best in the people around you - this role was built for you.
Skills
- Experience operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments across business, operations, product, and technology teams
- Experience leading AI, data, or digital transformation programs from conception through adoption
- Restaurant and hospitality experience is a plus
- Miro, Microsoft office, slack, confluence, jira/ado experience a plus
- Background in software engineering, data science, or technical product management
- Relevant certifications: PMP, SAFe, Scrum Master, or equivalent
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Technology, Computer Science, or related field
- You see ambiguity as an opportunity, not an obstacle, and you move forward with clarity even when not everything is defined
- You get energized by complexity, not slowed down by it - and you have a knack for simplifying what others make complicated
- You are genuinely curious about AI and emerging technology, and you have already started experimenting with how it can make your work better
- You are a team player who rolls up your sleeves, covers the gaps, and never drops the ball - no matter whose name is on it
Company info
- Build strong, lasting relationships across client stakeholders and internal cross-functional global team
