This is a senior role. Proven experience leading software implementation programs is required. You have carried large programs from kickoff through go-live, and you know how to keep scope, schedule, risk, and stakeholders under control at the same time. What You’ll Do: You are accountable for the program end to end. You lead one associate or mid-level project manager, who owns workstream-level schedule and execution, and you direct the business analysts who own requirements and User Acceptance Testing and coordinate with engineering on the build.

Lead and develop the team • Directly manage one associate or mid-level project manager, setting delivery standards and developing their skills. • Direct and coordinate business analysts, engineering, and QA across workstreams so the program moves as one team. • Remove blockers, sequence the work, and make the day-to-day delivery decisions that keep momentum. Own risk and dependency management • Proactively identify, quantify, and mitigate program risks before they become issues, and escalate with clear options when needed. • Map and manage cross-workstream dependencies, and maintain a current, credible view of what could threaten the timeline. • Drive issue resolution to closure and hold disciplined change control as scope evolves. Drive stakeholder alignment and communication • Serve as the primary point of contact for senior client and internal stakeholders, and build the trust that lets you influence decisions. • Translate fluidly between executive intent and delivery detail, so leadership sees a clear picture and the team has clear direction. • Set and manage expectations on scope, timeline, and trade-offs, and keep difficult conversations honest and constructive. Essential Qualifications: • Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience. • 8+ years experience leading software implementation programs end to end, from planning through delivery and go-live. • Experience leading, mentoring, or directly managing project managers or delivery staff. • Exceptional written and verbal communication, with a demonstrated ability to influence and align senior stakeholders. • Strong risk and issue management: proactively identifying, quantifying, mitigating, and escalating program risks and cross-workstream dependencies. • Program governance experience: establishing cadences, status reporting, and executive-level briefings. • Financial and scope discipline: managing program budget, scope, and change control against business objectives. • The ability to hold the big picture across workstreams while driving detailed execution. • Cross-functional leadership across business analysis, engineering, QA, and customer teams. • Working command of the SDLC and Agile delivery (ceremonies, artifacts, backlog, and release planning). • US Citizen or Permanent Resident.
