About the Role We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Project Manager to join our Professional Services team, leading our most complex and technically demanding enterprise SaaS implementations. This is a senior, high-impact role for a PMP-certified project management professional with deep experience managing enterprise SaaS deployments and a strong technical foundation. The ideal candidate is as comfortable in a technical architecture conversation with engineering and customer IT teams as they are managing executive stakeholders, and brings proven judgment for de-risking large-scale, multi-phase, multi-stakeholder implementations.

Qualifications & Experience

• Lead the full project lifecycle for enterprise-tier customer implementations, including complex data integrations, custom configurations, and multi-system architectures.
• Serve as the primary point of accountability for enterprise customer stakeholders (VP/C-suite), driving alignment on scope, technical approach, and delivery milestones.
• Partner closely with Solution Architects, Engineering, and Technical Consultants to assess technical risk, integration complexity, and deployment readiness.
• Own and manage complex project plans across scope, schedule, resourcing, and budget for high-ARR, strategically important enterprise accounts.
• Proactively identify and mitigate technical and delivery risk across long-duration, multi-phase implementations; lead structured change control for scope, budget, and timeline shifts.
• Mentor and provide delivery guidance to junior and mid-level Project Managers on enterprise best practices and technical delivery standards.

• Deliver executive-level status reporting, risk registers, and escalation summaries to both customer leadership and internal executives.

Qualifications & Experience

• PMP certification required.
• 10+ years of project management experience, with a significant portion managing enterprise SaaS implementations or deployments.
