About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Project Manager to join our Professional Services team, leading our most complex and technically demanding enterprise SaaS implementations. This is a senior, high-impact role for a PMP-certified project management professional with deep experience managing enterprise SaaS deployments and a strong technical foundation. The ideal candidate is as comfortable in a technical architecture conversation with engineering and customer IT teams as they are managing executive stakeholders, and brings proven judgment for de-risking large-scale, multi-phase, multi-stakeholder implementations.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the planning, execution, monitoring, and closure of multiple customer projects.

• Establish strong relationships with customer stakeholders, ensuring alignment on project goals and deliverables. Manage communication and expectation-setting throughout the project.

• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, managing scope, schedule, resources, and budget. Track project progress and ensure adherence to milestones.

• Identify potential risks and proactively implement mitigation strategies. Manage scope changes, budget adjustments, and timeline shifts through structured change control processes.

• Coordinate cross-functional teams, ensuring proper allocation of resources for successful project execution.

• Maintain comprehensive project documentation, including status reports, risk registers, and lessons learned. Provide regular updates to leadership and customers.

• Leverage industry best practices and continuous improvement methodologies to enhance project execution and customer satisfaction.

Qualifications & Experience

• Lead the full project lifecycle for enterprise-tier customer implementations, including complex data integrations, custom configurations, and multi-system architectures.

• Serve as the primary point of accountability for enterprise customer stakeholders (VP/C-suite), driving alignment on scope, technical approach, and delivery milestones.

• Partner closely with Solution Architects, Engineering, and Technical Consultants to assess technical risk, integration complexity, and deployment readiness.

• Own and manage complex project plans across scope, schedule, resourcing, and budget for high-ARR, strategically important enterprise accounts.

• Proactively identify and mitigate technical and delivery risk across long-duration, multi-phase implementations; lead structured change control for scope, budget, and timeline shifts.

• Mentor and provide delivery guidance to junior and mid-level Project Managers on enterprise best practices and technical delivery standards.

• Drive continuous improvement of enterprise delivery methodology, tooling, and technical playbooks across the Professional Services team.

• Deliver executive-level status reporting, risk registers, and escalation summaries to both customer leadership and internal executives.

Qualifications & Experience

• PMP certification required.

• 10+ years of project management experience, with a significant portion managing enterprise SaaS implementations or deployments.

• Strong technical acumen required: hands-on familiarity with data integration/ETL concepts, APIs, system architecture, and enterprise IT environments. Candidates with the strongest technical depth will be prioritized.

• Experience with incentive compensation management, sales performance management, or related enterprise financial/SaaS software highly desirable.

• Demonstrated track record delivering complex, multi-phase enterprise implementations on time and on budget.

• Executive-level communication and stakeholder management skills; experience engaging directly with VP/C-suite customer sponsors.

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
