Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Career Team is a workforce development organization that combines technology and high-touch services to improve employment outcomes, including through its Career Edge career readiness and case management software. The Senior Project Manager will lead complex enterprise client implementations and internal initiatives from discovery through go-live, manage executive client relationships, direct cross-functional teams, and build delivery processes and infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Own enterprise-level client implementations from discovery through go-live - on scope, on time, and at a quality bar you set and defend. When delivery is humming, it's because you built the plan; when something's stuck, you're already in the room clearing it
- Be the strategic point of contact across the project lifecycle. Build executive-level trust, run discovery and alignment sessions that pin down scope, business outcomes, success metrics, and risk - and keep senior stakeholders aligned when their priorities collide
- Turn business objectives into delivery roadmaps, milestones, and measurable outcomes the internal team can actually execute against. Guide the hard trade-off calls on timelines, resourcing, and long-term scalability
- Direct the work across Project Managers, Business Analysts, Solutions Architects, and Engineering Leads. You lead the high-level conversations on data migration readiness, timeline impacts, and cross-team dependencies without getting pulled into the technical execution yourself
- Spot delivery risk early, build the mitigation, and make the call, handling routine turbulence yourself without reflexively escalating and raising the flag loudly when the work genuinely needs it
- Guide UAT planning from a business-readiness lens, and shape rollout plans, client training strategies, and the long-game adoption success that turns a go-live into a lasting win
Skills
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- PMP certification
- Substantial experience leading enterprise SaaS implementations, digital transformation, or large-scale technology deployments for external clients - not internal programs
- Ability to collaborate with and influence C-level and executive stakeholders
- Strong skills in risk management, scope control, financial oversight, and strategic project planning
- Proven leadership and mentorship of project teams or junior PMs
- Experience delivering where the delivery infrastructure didn't exist yet - you've written the playbook, not just followed one
- Workforce development knowledge is a welcome bonus and we'll happily bring you up to speed on the mission
Benefits
- Remote work arrangement
