Sr. Project Manager

Description A TEKsystems client is seeking a Project Manager. This role provides execution discipline and delivery readiness—turning approved priorities into an integrated, date-driven plan, surfacing risks and dependencies early, and ensuring work is "built and ready" (not just completed) for production use. Working in partnership with Product and Engineering, the Sr. Project Manager does not own product prioritization or backlog decisions; instead, they own execution against the approved scope and commitments. They coordinate across teams and PODs to manage delivery variance, enforce plan integrity, and escalate when dependency, readiness, or timeline risk threatens committed outcomes. Accountable Deliverables

• Initiative charter(s) and scope baseline (problem statement, outcomes, in/out of scope, assumptions)
• Integrated delivery plan for the POD initiative portfolio (start/end dates, milestones, critical path, and dependency map)
• Schedule management artifacts (milestone plan, sprint/release alignment as applicable)
• RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, decisions) with owners, dates, and mitigation plans
• Status reporting package (weekly/bi weekly updates, executive summaries, decision requests)
• Deployment/go-live readiness package (readiness criteria, open risks/issues, operational readiness checklist, go/no-go meeting materials)
• Cutover and communication plan (stakeholder comms, change communications, launch timeline)
• Post-go-live tracking (hypercare plan, action-item tracking, lessons learned / retrospective themes) This position establishes a consistent operating rhythm for multiple concurrent initiatives (each with defined start/end dates) inside each POD, maintaining transparent communications and decision-ready reporting for leaders and sponsors.

Success is measured by predictable delivery, fewer surprises at go-live, and clear trade-offs when scope, capacity, or timing must change. Skills Project management, Program management, it project management, Agile, Pmp, Scrum Additional Skills & Qualifications Required Experience

• 7+ years of IT project experience leading large-scale, cross-functional technology initiatives (preferably digital commerce or customer-facing platforms).
• Direct experience managing complex projects involving retail technology, digital channels, and cross-team delivery coordination.
• Proven success delivering multi-workstream initiatives requiring systems integration, release/cutover planning, and adoption/enablement across business partners.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage escalations in high-visibility programs Skills & Competencies
• Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and executive reporting skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate business needs into technical requirements
• Experience with project management tools such as Jira, Smartsheet, or Azure DevOps
• Strong dependency management and deployment/go-live readiness coordination, including cutover planning and stakeholder communications across multiple teams.
• Proven ability to drive accountability, maintain momentum, and deliver program outcomes in complex environments Education & Certifications
