Senior Information Technology Project Manager

Kilroy Realty•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

Kilroy Realty owns and operates a portfolio of premier office and life science properties across the West Coast, with assets in San Diego, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Austin and Seattle. Our IT organization has been executing across a broad technology agenda — advancing infrastructure programs, strengthening cybersecurity and operational technology, building out our data platform, and evolving our enterprise application landscape — all part of a technology agenda that runs deep across the organization. We are looking for a Senior IT Project Manager to help us deliver on that agenda. This is not a coordination role. You will own a portfolio of concurrent, high-visibility initiatives and be accountable for driving them to completion on time, on budget, and with measurable outcomes that matter to the organization. You will work directly with IT leadership and business stakeholders across the organization. You will manage external vendors. You will present status and risk to executive audiences. You will expand what IT can take on and deliver, bringing dedicated project ownership to a team with high ambitions and a lot in motion. If you are a senior PM who thrives on variety, earns trust across technical and business audiences, and holds yourself to the same standard you hold your teams, this is the role. This position reports to the Chief Technology Officer.

Requirements

7–10 years of IT project management experience across a mixed portfolio.
Strong command of both waterfall and agile methodologies; confident adapting to project context.
Experience coordinating with external vendors and third-party delivery teams.
Proficiency with project management tools (MS Project, Monday.com, Smartsheet, Jira, or comparable).
Clear, confident written and verbal communicator; able to present risk and status to executive audiences.

Nice To Haves

PMP certification.
Experience in real estate, commercial property, or a portfolio-driven industry.
Familiarity with enterprise platforms common to real estate operations (Yardi, MRI, or similar).
Exposure to cybersecurity, data, or infrastructure programs.

Responsibilities

Own a Mixed Project Portfolio: Lead delivery of concurrent IT initiatives spanning infrastructure, enterprise applications, cybersecurity, and data. You bring the experience to assess each effort and apply the right delivery approach — waterfall, agile, or hybrid — based on what the work requires.
Run the Full Delivery Lifecycle: From charter and kickoff through execution, stakeholder alignment, risk management, and post-launch review, you own the outcome. You do not hand projects off. You see them through and leave a clear record of what was delivered and what was learned.
Keep Leadership Informed, Not Surprised: Develop and maintain clear, concise project reporting for IT leadership and executive stakeholders. Anticipate risks before they become issues, escalate with a recommended path forward, and translate technical complexity into the language that drives informed decisions.
Manage Vendor and Third-Party Delivery: Hold external vendors and service providers accountable to contract milestones, quality standards, and timelines. You bring enough technical fluency to know when delivery is off track and enough professional credibility to address it directly.
Deliver with Discipline: Execute within a structured project delivery framework and apply it consistently across your portfolio — intake, planning, status reporting, and close-out — adapting where the work demands it.
Partner Across the Organization: Build trusted relationships with stakeholders across Kilroy. Connect project outcomes to what the organization is trying to accomplish, communicate with honesty and precision, and be the partner people want on their most important initiatives.
