Onsite Local candidates required within 40 miles Onsite interview required Job description : Our clients increasingly ask for fixed-price commitments, and we've built a delivery process disciplined enough to make them with confidence: every engagement moves through structured design, costing, and build phases, with live plan-vs-actual tracking from the sprint board up to the executive dashboard. Much of our delivery reporting burndown, velocity, forecasts, cost tracking is generated automatically. What we need from a Project Manager isn't paperwork. It's client leadership, commercial judgment, and the discipline to keep fixed-price engagements on plan. You'll own engagements end to end: the client relationship, the schedule, the economics, and the outcome. What You'll Do Lead the client relationship Serve as the primary point of contact for your engagements, building trusted relationships with client teams and executives. Run milestone reviews, executive readouts, and steering discussions including the hard conversations about scope, change, and trade-offs. Translate client business needs into clear charters, scoped Work Orders, and delivery plans everyone can stand behind. Guide engagements through our delivery phases
Design:
Ensure the work is genuinely buildable before we commit charter, documentation, and review complete.
Cost:
Own the move from should-cost estimate to committed fixed price, and be able to defend that price.
Build:
Drive milestones through to go-live, holding the gates that matter acceptance, security, performance, and a clean path to production. Manage plan vs. actual Read the delivery telemetry daily burndown against plan, velocity forecasts, cost-to-complete, margin position and act on variances early, before they become escalations. Keep clients and eSF leadership genuinely informed. No surprises, in either direction. Protect the commitment Run real change control on fixed-price work: negotiate scope changes openly with clients and protect the engagement's economics. Set acceptance criteria upfront and drive deliverable sign-off and invoicing against milestones. Track risks and issues with named owners and mitigations, and see escalations through to resolution. Work with the team Partner with architects, engineers, and QA including AI-augmented workflows that generate code, artifacts, and telemetry. Facilitate planning sessions, workshops, and sprint ceremonies as needed, and help improve our delivery process as we grow. What You'll Bring 7+ years in project management, consulting, or technology delivery including real accountability for fixed-price or fixed-fee engagements. Proven experience representing a firm in front of senior client stakeholders, with the range to run an executive meeting and a sprint review with equal credibility.
Fluency in delivery economics:
estimation, burn, earned value, margin, cost-to-complete. You know what a healthy engagement looks like in the numbers. Solid grounding in Agile delivery and governance risk management, change control, milestone gating. Comfort with Jira and data-driven delivery. You'd rather interpret a live dashboard than build a slide about it. Clear, direct communication, written and spoken you raise problems early and handle them well. The ability to manage several engagements at once without letting any slip. Nice to have PMP, CSM, SAFe, or similar certification. Experience in regulated industries healthcare, financial services, or the public sector. Hands-on exposure to AI-augmented delivery or AI tooling in a delivery context. Enterprise clients and complex, multi-team initiatives. Why This Role We've automated the mechanics of delivery so this role can focus on what actually moves engagements: client trust, sound decisions, and outcomes. If the best parts of project management have been getting buried under the administrative ones, this is a different version of the job.
