Senior Project Manager

Job description:

The Senior Project Manager owns coordination for one or more assigned functional areas and flexes into business analysis execution as the work requires. This is explicitly a hybrid seat. It is not an administrative or status-reporting role, and the individual is expected to contribute directly to the analytical and functional work of the program alongside their coordination responsibilities.

Key responsibilities:

• Own day-to-day coordination for one or more assigned functional areas - sequencing, dependency tracking, action management and progress reporting.
• Work directly on analytical and functional tasks alongside the BSA team, including data review, structured queries, spreadsheet and extract analysis, requirements gathering and user acceptance testing support.
• Maintain the risk, issue, dependency, decision and action record for the assigned areas.
• Coordinate scheduling, working sessions and stakeholder touchpoints for the assigned areas.
• Prepare and issue status reporting to the agreed format and cadence.
• Track and follow through on open items raised by Client stakeholders to closure.
• Support onboarding and knowledge transfer for incoming resources within the assigned areas.
• Escalate capacity, quality or sequencing concerns promptly to the Senior Program Manager.

Required experience:

• 8+ years of project management or project coordination experience on enterprise programs.
• Demonstrated willingness and ability to work hands-on at task level - this role will be expected to perform business analysis work, not only manage it.
• Practical data-handling capability, including comfort with spreadsheets, extracts and structured queries.
• Experience managing dependencies and actions across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Clear written and verbal communication in English and demonstrated reliability in follow-through.
• Experience working within GxP-regulated environments.

Preferred experience:

• Experience on a system transition, data migration or platform implementation program.
• Exposure to a learning management system or enterprise HR platform.
• Experience in a regulated industry.

Ways of working:

• Works to the direction and priorities set by the assigned Client workstream lead or program owner.
• Maintains transparent, timely status against assigned activities and escalates blockers early rather than at the point of impact.
• Documents decisions, actions and open items so that context is held in the program record and not solely with the individual.
• Cross-trains across adjacent functional areas to provide coverage redundancy within the Milestone team.

Compliance and environment:

• Works entirely within Client's systems, tools and environments. No client data is moved to, stored in or processed on external tooling without Client's express written approval.
• Operates within a GxP-regulated environment and follows Client's data privacy, data integrity, information security and records-retention standards at all times.
• Completes all Client-mandated onboarding, access provisioning and compliance training before commencing project activity.
• Participates in Milestone's structured program induction covering program context, stakeholder map, ways of working and tooling.
