Project Manager

The Florida Panthers • Sunrise, FL

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Florida Panthers are two-time Stanley Cup Champions — and we’re just getting started. Fueled by two championships and a fanbase that is growing faster than nearly any franchise in professional hockey, the Panthers are entering a new chapter defined by ambition, innovation, and a deliberate commitment to doing things differently. We are not content to be a great hockey team. We are building a world-class sports and entertainment enterprise — one that sets the standard for how professional sports franchises operate, grow, and connect with their communities. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performing Project Management Office at the center of that transformation — directly supporting the COO and driving enterprise-wide initiatives across revenue, operations, capital investment, strategy, and fan growth.
This role is not for the faint of heart. You will manage complexity across multiple simultaneous workstreams, work with senior leaders who expect sharp thinking and clear communication, and be accountable for keeping mission-critical projects moving — on time, on budget, and with every stakeholder informed. In return, you'll have visibility, autonomy, and the chance to leave a real mark.

Requirements

• 5–10 years of Program or Project Management experience, with a track record of successfully delivering enterprise-scale, cross-functional initiatives
• Demonstrated experience managing projects across diverse domains — revenue programs, operational transformation, capital expenditure (CAPEX), strategic initiatives, or audience/fan development
• Experience working in or alongside highly rigorous industries such as aerospace & defense, big tech, management consulting, financial services, or similarly demanding environments
• Bachelor’s degree required
• Exceptional written and verbal communication — you write with precision, speak with confidence, and tailor your message to your audience without losing substance
• Structured thinking — you instinctively organize information into frameworks, identify what’s signal versus noise, and present complexity in ways people can act on
• High EQ and no ego — you listen as well as you lead, build trust quickly, and operate with the humility to know that great outcomes require great relationships
• Bias for action — you don’t wait for perfect information; you move with urgency, make smart decisions under ambiguity, and know when to push and when to pause
• Relentless follow-through — things don’t fall through the cracks on your watch; you are the person the organization relies on to keep the trains running
• Comfortable operating in white space — you thrive when the path is unclear and see ambiguity as an opportunity, not a threat

Nice To Haves

• advanced degree (MBA, MS, or equivalent) strongly preferred
• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent certification preferred but not required

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of high-priority, cross-functional programs — from charter and scope definition through execution, closeout, and post-mortem. You will hold teams accountable to timelines and deliverables without the luxury of direct authority.
• Synthesize complex, multi-threaded project information into crisp, structured briefings for C-suite and senior leaders. Translate ambiguity into clarity — in written updates, executive decks, and live presentations.
• Build trusted relationships across the organization. Identify misalignment early, facilitate hard conversations, and ensure every function with a stake in a project stays informed, engaged, and unblocked.
• Proactively surface risks before they become problems. Develop contingency plans. Escalate with the right context and the right recommendation — not just the problem.
• Bring structure to ambiguous situations. Develop and maintain project management frameworks, reporting cadences, and governance processes that scale with the organization.
• Partner with Finance, Operations, Strategy, Marketing, Technology, and other functions to align priorities, resolve conflicts, and drive decisions in environments where authority is earned, not given.
• Architect and operationalize AI-enabled, agent-driven project workflows to automate reporting, forecast risks, and accelerate decision cycles — transforming traditional PMO functions into a real-time, data-driven execution engine.

Benefits

• We celebrate diverse backgrounds and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every team member can do the best work of their career.
• We strive to make every employee feel valued and respected for who they are and the unique contributions they make.
• We believe that a diverse and inclusive company is a more innovative and successful company, which is why we aim to infuse diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) into all aspects of our culture and our business.
