Key Responsibilities

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.
• •Lead the weekly delivery cadence, including sprint and release checkpoints, workstream status reviews, cross-functional dependency management, critical-path reviews, and schedule recovery and corrective actions.
• •Maintain a single source of truth for program status, milestones, dependencies, and delivery health.
• •Reconcile the delivery plan against actual engineering and team capacity.
• •Identify schedule slippage early and drive mitigation plans with accountable owners.

Risk, Budget & Decision Management

• •Own the program risk register, covering technical, data, regulatory/compliance, vendor, resourcing, delivery, and operational risks.
• •Ensure every material risk has a named owner, mitigation plan, target date, and escalation trigger.

• •Monitor actuals versus budget and flag variances early.
• •Maintain the program decision log, documenting decision required, options and trade-offs considered, decision made, decision owner, rationale, date, and downstream impact.
• •Ensure key decisions are documented clearly enough to support phase-gate reviews, governance, and future audits.

Governance & Executive Reporting

• •Own the steering committee cadence, including agenda, pre-read materials, status reporting, decisions required, and actions and follow-up.
• •Prepare concise Executive Sponsor updates covering overall program health, schedule, budget, key risks, dependencies, decisions required, and upcoming milestones.
• •Prepare materials for steering committee and board-level reporting.
• •Coordinate phase-gate approvals with the Executive Sponsor, who owns the business case and funding.
• •Ensure governance forums result in clear decisions, accountable owners, and documented follow-through.

Cross-Functional Program Leadership

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.

Required Qualifications

• •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.
• •Proven track record establishing and managing decision logs, risk and issue registers, dependency trackers, executive dashboards, and program status reporting.
• •Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to create clear project dashboards and executive updates.
• •Experience managing external customer, partner, or design-partner commitments as integrated components of the delivery plan.
• •Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to drive accountability across Product, Engineering, Data, QA, Infrastructure, Commercial, and Customer Experience teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• •Experience in pipeline integrity, utilities, energy, infrastructure, or another asset-intensive regulated industry.
• •Experience delivering data-platform, ML, or AI programs using Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Lakehouse architectures, model registries, model serving, and data/model governance.
• •Four-year degree or equivalent professional experience.
• •PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program/project management certification.
• •Experience integrating an acquired team, product, platform, or technology into an existing organization or operating model.
