TL;DR · Senior Project Manager

The Senior Project Manager joins the technology organization to serve as a strategic advisor driving complex technical initiatives. Rather than traditional task tracking, this role focuses on shaping project strategy, building organizational capacity, and aligning cross-functional goals with broader business objectives. Key responsibilities include defining project strategies, performing root cause analysis on operational telemetry, and writing strategic briefs to secure stakeholder alignment. The successful candidate will pioneer AI-accelerated execution by building custom AI-agent workflows to automate tactical tasks. Required skills include Agile methodologies, first-principles thinking, and experience with LLMs or custom GPTs. Preferred technical proficiencies include JIRA, GitHub, Snowflake, Sigma, Tableau, and SQL. This role solves systemic operational inefficiencies by translating complex engineering challenges into clear business impacts while mentoring mid-level project managers.

What you'll do

  • Define project strategies and align cross-functional goals with broader business objectives.
  • Build and iterate on custom AI-agent workflows to automate repetitive project management tasks.
  • Identify systemic problems and write strategic briefs to secure stakeholder alignment on solutions.
  • Analyze operational telemetry to identify root causes and propose data-backed systemic fixes.
  • Facilitate rigorous reviews and communicate complex engineering challenges to both executive and technical audiences.
  • Provide informal mentorship to junior project managers to elevate the department's execution capabilities.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a minimum of 5+ years of experience managing complex projects and leading cross-functional teams using Agile methodologies.
  • Must be able to read, write, speak, and understand English.
  • Must possess strategic and analytical thinking skills to independently compile project plans and anticipate risks.
  • Must have practical experience using AI tools like LLMs and custom agents to accelerate workflows and solve business problems.
  • Must demonstrate the ability to influence without authority by building consensus and navigating skepticism.
  • Must possess high emotional intelligence and the ability to maintain resilience in high-pressure or ambiguous situations.
  • Must be able to communicate complex engineering challenges to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with enterprise Agile tools, data visualization platforms, and SQL or scripting (preferred).
