Waterfield Tech
Role Description Waterfield Tech is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex customer experience and contact center modernization programs across a portfolio of cloud platforms, multi-vendor integrations, and AI-driven capabilities. This individual is the senior delivery owner for assigned engagements — guiding customers through the transition from legacy environments to modern, AI-enabled customer engagement solutions while managing scope, schedule, financials, and risk through the full project lifecycle. The Senior Project Manager has the authority to run the project on a day-to-day basis, partners closely with technical and customer stakeholders, and serves as the central point of accountability for delivering best-in-class customer service. This role is a critical leader on multi-vendor, integration-heavy engagements, including AI enablement projects that bring conversational AI, agent assist, and analytics into production alongside core contact center and unified communications platforms. Key Responsibilities - Manage a portfolio of complex, multi-workstream projects spanning customer experience, contact center, unified communications, Applied AI, and cloud migration engagements; own the full project lifecycle including scope, schedule, resource planning, budget, risk, change, and stakeholder communication. - Review proposal material, SOWs, and executed contracts to determine scope; request resources from matrixed support organizations; ensure contractual compliance with all RFP and SOW terms while delivering best-in-class customer service. - Partner with sales, solution consulting, and pre-sales engineering on opportunity scoping, level-of-effort estimation, and Statement of Work development for new and in-flight customer expansions. - Lead go-live event planning, production change management, and Day 1 post-launch incident support; lead transition to Day 2 support per Waterfield Tech standards. - Build and motivate cross-functional project teams; serve as the central point of contact between technical teams, customer stakeholders, vendors and subcontractors, and Waterfield Tech leadership. - Establish and maintain client relationships, manage expectations of project sponsors, and manage external vendor relationships including SOWs, deliverable acceptance, and invoice validation. - Identify, assess, and mitigate risks and issues; manage project change requests through formal change control with impact analysis, approvals, and downstream communication. - Lead AI enablement projects end to end — from discovery and use-case definition through production cutover and post-go-live tuning — including conversational AI, virtual agents, agent assist, real-time analytics, and AI-powered self-service. - Apply AI-powered solutions to project delivery itself, including automated status reporting, predictive risk analysis, intelligent meeting summarization, action-item tracking, and automated documentation generation. - Adhere to stage-gate quality and control guidelines and Waterfield Tech project management standards, including booking, time entry, and project operations within Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Project Operations. - Provide status reporting on milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks, and issues to leadership and stakeholders; deliver progress reports, dashboards, and steering committee updates. - Track and report customer-outcome metrics at the project level — including CSAT, NPS, on-time delivery, schedule variance, and cost variance — and surface trends and corrective actions to PMO leadership. - Conduct lessons-learned sessions upon project closure, produce after-action reports, and contribute to PMO process improvement and continuous improvement initiatives. - Provide coaching, mentorship, and on-the-job training to junior project managers, project coordinators, and team members. - Continue professional development to keep abreast of emerging technologies, methods, and best practices; perform other duties as assigned by leadership. Qualifications - Bachelor's Degree from an accredited college or university required; Master's Degree a plus. Emphasis in Project Management, Information Technology, or Business Leadership preferred.
