About The Position

ABM is seeking a highly disciplined, execution-driven Senior Project Manager to lead enterprise technology initiatives in a hybrid delivery environment. Our governance model operates in a structured, waterfall framework. Our development teams often execute using Agile methodologies. This role requires a project leader who can confidently manage both — driving enterprise-level planning, financial discipline, and executive transparency while partnering effectively with Agile delivery teams. The ideal candidate is structured, detail-oriented, proactive, and deeply accountable for outcomes. Strong performers in either waterfall or Agile environments who demonstrate learning agility and disciplined execution will be considered.
