  • Demonstrated experience in leading and motivating cross-functional teams, vendors, and stakeholders across all project phases and delivery models (Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid).
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
Benefits:

This role offers a unique opportunity to work on a high-profile payroll transformation project. As a Senior Project Manager, you will have the chance to develop and implement strategic change management plans, drive process improvements, and lead cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional results.

The ideal candidate will possess strong leadership skills, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment. If you are a motivated and experienced project manager looking for a challenging role, we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of the payroll transformation project.
  • Develop and implement change management strategies and business readiness plans.
  • Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance project delivery processes.
