TITLE: Senior Project Manager
REPORTS TO: VP of Client Services
LOCATION: Remote
EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Full-Time, Exempt Employee
At Career Team, our mission is to empower one person, start one career and serve one family at a time. We do this through innovative software solutions and high-touch services. As a Senior Project Manager, you’ll lead complex, enterprise-level client implementations and internal initiatives from concept through delivery. You'll be driving strategic alignment with stakeholders, setting clear expectations, directing cross-functional teams, removing roadblocks, and ensuring successful delivery of high-impact solutions within scope, on time, and with exceptional quality.
This involves:
- Building strong, executive-level client relationships and serving as the strategic point of contact throughout the project lifecycle
- Leading discovery and alignment sessions to clarify scope, business outcomes, success metrics, and risks across multiple stakeholders
- Translating business objectives into delivery roadmaps, milestones, and measurable outcomes for internal teams
- Providing strategic guidance on implementation trade-offs, timelines, resource allocation, and long-term scalability decisions
- Overseeing cross-functional collaboration with Project Managers, Business Analysts, Solutions Architects, and Engineering Leads to drive high-quality execution
- Identifying delivery risks early, developing mitigation strategies, and making informed decisions to keep projects on track without requiring escalation for routine challenges
- Advocating for scalable delivery practices and continuous improvement in processes, communication, and stakeholder engagement
- Guiding UAT planning from a delivery and business-readiness perspective, ensuring testing aligns with client outcomes and go-live readiness
- Ensuring organizational readiness by supporting development of rollout plans, client training strategies, and long-term adoption success
- Leading high-level discussions on data migration readiness, timeline impacts, and cross-team dependencies without engaging in technical execution
- Making independent decisions regarding project direction, scope trade-offs, escalation thresholds, and stakeholder alignment, with significant autonomy
- Evaluating multiple paths forward, balancing client objectives against delivery constraints, and recommending the best course of action for long-term success
- Directly influencing client satisfaction, organizational credibility, and long-term account growth through strong project outcomes
The ideal candidate is highly strategic, thrives in ambiguity, and excels at influencing both internal teams and external executives. A seasoned leader who can navigate competing priorities, build meaningful client relationships, manage risk, and empower teams to succeed will bring a calm, confident presence and will be energized by delivering outcomes that drive measurable client and organizational success.
The role requires someone with deep experience leading large-scale, multi-phase technology or service delivery projects. You must be comfortable overseeing multiple project streams, managing senior-level stakeholders, guiding project managers and project teams, and making decisions that balance urgency with long-term vision. A successful candidate has a track record of delivering complex projects while upholding quality, innovation, and client satisfaction.
