Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Clearwave Fiber is scaling its fiber build program and expanding its market operations. The Senior Project Manager will establish and operate the Market Expansion PMO, manage market funnel tracking and pipeline reporting, govern cross-functional processes, and provide executive visibility into portfolio progress and risks.
Responsibilities
- Market Funnel Management & Stage-Gate Tracking: own the operating cadence for tracking markets through every stage of the funnel (Full Opportunity Universe through Build-Active and post-build) and hold functional partners accountable to stage-gate criteria
- Pipeline Reporting & KPI Management: build, run, and manage the reporting that feeds recurring governance meetings (ex. Expansion Leadership Meetings and Market Approval Committee). To include pipeline coverage ratios (qualified and engineered buffer) and at-risk market flags
- RACI Governance & Meeting Facilitation: own the RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed) document end to end. Build it, keep it current as the org. evolves, surface ownership gaps or overlaps, and facilitate the cross-functional meetings where it gets used and revised
- Engineered Pipeline Coverage Monitoring: track the qualified pipeline coverage ratio and the engineered buffer separately, and flag early when falls below tolerance
- Executive Reporting: prepare and present pipeline health, build portfolio and progress, and KPI materials for the VP, CRO, and executive audiences as needed
- Cross-Functional Coordination: serve as the connecting point across Market Intelligence & Selection, Market Development, and Government Relations; the person who knows how every piece of the funnel fits together operationally
