Job Summary

The Senior Project Manager is the leader and owner of a portfolio of AHEAD's complex, highest-risk, and highest-visibility Client engagements — directly accountable for planning, executing, leading the project team, and finalizing each project according to Client timelines and budget constraints, serving as the single point of knowledge and control for the aggregate effort. This ownership is what shapes how the Senior Project Manager manages resources, coordinates the efforts of team members, both internal and external. The Senior Project Manager leads the engagement and drives the Client relationship — including at the executive level — rather than simply administering tasks, keeping everything moving toward the outcome the Client came to AHEAD for.

The Senior Project Manager is expected to know the outcome of every engagement in their portfolio and to proactively identify what could get in the way of the project or the Client's outcome — heading it off before it becomes a problem rather than reacting after the fact — while tailoring communication and status reporting, from working-level detail to executive-level, to the target stakeholder audience.

The Senior Project Manager is accountable for applying AHEAD's three Operating Pillars — World Class Customer Experience, Ensure Customer Outcomes, and Accelerate & Manage the AHEAD Business — across every project in their portfolio, from initiation through closure, and for coaching and mentoring less experienced Project Managers as needed.
