- The Senior Project Manager leads Enterprise Project Delivery end-to-end. Working from the Statement of Work, the role manages iterative SDLC cycles with the customer through to warranty close, owning scope, schedule, change control, customer relationship and Ocuco margin
- The role is also accountable for internal projects that require delivery oversight: capturing the business case, tracking progress against goals, and supporting ROI / value-realization feasibility throughout. Where complexity is bounded, a Senior Project Manager may lead a small Enterprise Program in lieu of a Program Manager
- Reporting to the PMO Director
- Build and run the project plan across all SDLC phases, including discovery, design, build, test, release, and warranty
- Manage iterative cycles with the customer, keeping them continuously close to delivered increments
- Own the customer relationship through the entire engagement; reset expectations honestly when scope or schedule shifts
- Manage the warranty handover so the customer is set up for steady-state success without surprises
1. Scope, Change Control & Commercial Discipline
- Maintain the SOW baseline; proactively manage scope changes
- Run the change-control process; produce full impact analyses (commercial, schedule, risk) before customer agreement
- Balance customer outcomes with sound commercial management
- Coordinate with Sales and Commercial on change orders and scoping for follow-on work
- Support the business case for internal initiatives: cost, benefit, payback, key assumptions, and keep it live as facts change with Product
- Track progress against goals; surface when ROI feasibility is degrading and adjust
- Report outcomes back to sponsors, not just outputs — was the change worth doing?
- Own the risk register at project level, including commercial, customer-relationship and SDLC risks
- Drive issue resolution across customer and internal teams; manage customer expectations clearly when scope or schedule is at risk
- Align Product, Engineering, QA, Architecture and Operations around the plan; broker compromises that protect customer outcomes and Ocuco margin simultaneously
1. Governance & Reporting
- Design and run project governance, including steering cadence, decision forums, status reporting, calibrated to project size
- Establish the project-level Communication Plan: sponsors, customer counterparts, internal functions, cadence and format
- Mentor Project Managers in adjacent pods; bring practices and lessons across pods
- What Good Looks Like
- Customer relationships remain strong during challenging phases of delivery
- Project margin is protected; change requests are fair and predictable, not contentious
- Internal projects ship outcomes, not just outputs; sponsors get a benefits report at closeout

- Experience across the full SDLC including warranty phases

- Experience delivering e-Commerce and omnichannel software projects would be advantageous, particularly solutions supporting both in-store users and end-customer/patient digital experiences
- Experience working with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams
- Ability to use evidence and delivery metrics to assess the impact of AI adoption on quality, predictability and throughput
- Understanding of how AI-assisted delivery may impact project economics, estimation, change control and customer expectations, with the ability to manage those implications responsibly
