    As a Senior Project Manager, you will take end-to-end ownership of IT project delivery, working closely with cross-functional DevOps teams, business stakeholders and technology partners across multiple regions.

    You will be responsible for translating product roadmaps and priorities into structured delivery plans and ensuring projects achieve their agreed scope, schedule, budget, quality and business objectives.

    • Manage project budgets, forecasts, actuals and financial reporting while ensuring effective utilization of project resources.
    • Establish appropriate project governance, facilitate steering/governance meetings and provide clear status reporting to senior business and IT stakeholders.
    • Work closely with Product Owners and DevOps teams to ensure alignment between project milestones, Agile delivery plans and business priorities.
    • Drive decision-making and remove delivery obstacles by coordinating across teams and organizational boundaries.
    • Ensure appropriate production readiness, operational handover and transition to support before project closure.
    • Promote continuous improvement and lessons learned across project delivery practices.

    What We Are Looking For

    • 10+ years of experience in IT project/program delivery, including demonstrated ownership of complex or business-critical projects.
    • Strong knowledge of project management disciplines covering scope, schedule, budget, quality, resources, risk, procurement, stakeholder management and communication.
    • Practical experience working with both Agile and traditional project delivery methodologies.
    • Experience working with DevOps and cross-functional technology teams.
    • Strong understanding of IT/software delivery lifecycle from requirements and development through testing, deployment and operational transition.
    • Demonstrated experience managing global stakeholders, senior management and geographically distributed delivery teams.
    • Ability to manage multiple priorities and make effective decisions in a dynamic and time-sensitive environment.
    • Strong problem-solving, negotiation, facilitation and conflict-resolution skills.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to communicate complex topics clearly to both technical and business audiences.
    • Advanced spoken and written English.
    • PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe, Scrum or equivalent project/agile certification would be an advantage
