Senior Project Manager
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 5, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 14, 2026.
About the role
The Senior Project Manager leads customer deployment projects from initiation through delivery and closure. Depending on the size and structure of the engagement, the Senior Project Manager may serve as the primary customer contact or work under the direction of a Program Manager who owns the broader customer relationship. In either model, the Senior Project Manager owns project-level planning, fulfillment oversight, shipping readiness, risk and issue management, stakeholder communication, and confirmation of successful delivery. Working across customers, Sales, engineering, production and integration, logistics, and other delivery functions, the Senior Project Manager establishes project direction, drives accountability, and ensures customer commitments are understood and actively managed. The role has no direct reports but leads cross-functional project teams through influence, sound judgment, and disciplined execution. Success requires a strong service orientation, high professionalism, proactive communication, and the ability to manage multiple customer deployments with competing priorities and dependencies.
