Jeppesen ForeFlight is redefining the future of aviation technology, equipping
pilots, operators, and decision-makers with the software tools to forge bold new
digital paths that push past the expected. We stand with those who dream bigger,
fly farther, and seek to explore the next frontier in the cockpit and operations
center.
Jeppesen ForeFlight is seeking a Senior Project Manager, Implementations
reporting to the Senior Manager, Professional Services Implementation &
Deployment, to lead complex, customer-facing implementation and migration
projects across our legacy and next-generation flight planning products,
including our JetPlan Engine platform migration program moving customers off
unsupported legacy hardware and operating systems onto current, supported
infrastructure.
As a Senior Project Manager, you will own the end-to-end planning, scheduling,
and delivery of multi-workstream implementation and migration projects,
coordinating across Development, Deployment Specialists, Quality Assurance, and
the customer's own technical team to move complex, production flight-planning
systems safely from legacy infrastructure onto our current platforms.
A successful candidate is comfortable being the connective tissue across
engineering, deployment, and the customer on a technically complex, high-stakes
project, tracking schedule, risk, and dependencies with equal rigor. You're
equally comfortable running a detailed cutover plan, presenting a clear status
update to executive stakeholders, and keeping several concurrent migrations on
track at once. You either know legacy-to-modern infrastructure migrations
already, or you're eager to learn the space quickly.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Own project planning, scheduling, and status reporting for one or more
complex implementation and migration projects, from kickoff through go-live
and into early production support handoff
Build and maintain detailed project plans, RAID logs (risks, assumptions,
issues, dependencies), and cutover/go-live runbooks for each migration
Coordinate across Development, Deployment Specialists, Quality Assurance, and
Support to sequence and de-risk cutover activities for production systems
that cannot tolerate extended downtime
Manage and track project status in Salesforce, keeping stakeholders and
leadership current on schedule, risk, and blockers
Lead recurring customer- and internal-facing status meetings, translating
technical migration details into clear, actionable updates for both technical
and executive stakeholders
Coordinate go-live/cutover events directly with customer technical teams,
including scheduling maintenance windows and validating post-cutover system
health
Identify and escalate schedule, resource, or technical risks early, and drive
mitigation plans to closure
Support post-go-live stabilization and a clean handoff to ongoing support
Partner with Product, Support, and other internal teams to resolve issues and
escalations surfaced during a migration
Travel to customer sites on occasion, as needed
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
5+ years of project management experience delivering complex, technical
implementation or migration projects, ideally including production system
cutovers
Experience managing multi-stakeholder projects spanning internal
engineering/deployment teams and external customer technical teams
Strong technical aptitude, comfortable understanding infrastructure migration
concepts (e.g., legacy operating system to Linux platform migrations) well
enough to plan and sequence around them, without requiring a software
engineering background
Experience with Salesforce or a comparable CRM/project-tracking tool
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, comfortable presenting
project status to both technical teams and executive stakeholders
Strong critical thinking and risk-management skills, with the ability to
identify and mitigate schedule and technical risk before it becomes a problem
Willingness to learn and apply AI-powered tools to accelerate project
tracking, status reporting, and cross-team coordination; prior hands-on
experience with AI tools is a plus
Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and prioritize independently
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
PMP or a comparable project management certification
Experience in airline operations, flight dispatch, or aviation technology
Experience coordinating international, multi-time-zone customer
implementations
Background in client or account management, with the ability to translate
customer needs into a project plan
Comfort working across time zones with international customers
