The Role
Lark is seeking an experienced and highly organized Senior Project Manager to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives across Product, Engineering, and Business teams. This is a temporary role for 4-6 months. As part of the Project Management Office (PMO) within the Product Operations organization, you’ll serve as a key connector across teams, helping turn strategy into execution through structure, clarity, and strong partnership and communication.
In this role, you’ll guide complex projects with confidence and clear, thoughtful decision-making. You’ll partner closely with Product Managers, team leads, and cross-team stakeholders to align goals, manage dependencies, and deliver meaningful outcomes. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where clear communication, thoughtful planning, and practical problem-solving drive results.
As a Senior Project Manager, you’ll bring a depth of experience that helps teams anticipate challenges, stay aligned, and deliver results efficiently. You’ll navigate complex initiatives with clarity and composure, fostering accountability and focus even as priorities shift. You’ll operate independently while shaping how we approach planning, execution, and continuous improvement across projects.

• Facilitate Collaboration and Delivery Routines: Ensure efficient, purpose-driven meetings and structured team ceremonies drive alignment, shared ownership, and clear accountability. Maintain a consistent delivery cadence and ensure sprint goals, commitments, and outcomes remain visible and aligned across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
