Job Description:

The Senior Technical Project Manager – Enterprise Technology & Systems Delivery is a project delivery leader within the PMO organization responsible for managing technology programs and enterprise transformation initiatives across multiple workstreams. This role drives delivery from initiation through go-live and stabilization, ensuring tight schedule management, strong cross-functional coordination, proactive risk and issue escalation, and disciplined governance throughout the project lifecycle.

The role requires someone who can understand technical concepts, dependencies, and delivery risks well enough to coordinate effectively across engineering, infrastructure, integration, data, and testing teams, but who is not expected to serve as the hands-on technical lead or provide technical solution ownership. Success is defined by on-time execution, stakeholder alignment, effective governance, and sustainable adoption of technology-enabled change.
