About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Solution Delivery Lead / Technology Project Manager to join us on a contract / contingent basis supporting our Legal, Ethics & Compliance, and Data Privacy technology portfolio. This is a senior, hands-on technology delivery role. The ideal candidate has a strong background in IT project management, business systems analysis, and solution delivery and can independently lead complex technology initiatives through the full SDLC. This position requires being on-site in Boston Seaport 1–2 days per week, with the remainder of the work performed remotely.

Requirements

• 12–15+ years of technology project management, IT solution delivery, business systems analysis, and/or program management experience.
• Strong technical/technology delivery background — this is not a general business project management role.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex technology implementations across the full SDLC.
• Deep understanding of SDLC lifecycle management, phase gates, requirements documentation, testing, validation, implementation, and transition to support.
• PMP certification required.
• Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) required.
• Strong experience delivering projects using both Agile and Waterfall methodologies.
• Experience in a regulated pharmaceutical, biotech, or life sciences environment, including GxP.
• Experience supporting Legal, Ethics & Compliance, Data Privacy, and/or GRC technology portfolios.
• Strong experience with Jira, vendor management, testing, governance, and executive stakeholder management.
• Someone senior, technical, hands-on, and highly independent — someone who understands both how technology projects are delivered and what documentation and controls are required at each stage of the lifecycle.
• Can independently drive complex technology initiatives while working effectively across business stakeholders, architects, security teams, technical resources, vendors, and SMEs.
• Can move comfortably between technology project leadership, business systems analysis, SDLC governance, Agile delivery, vendor management, testing, implementation, and executive stakeholder management.

Responsibilities

• Lead technology projects across the full SDLC, including intake, discovery, requirements, design, build/configuration, testing, deployment, stabilization, and closeout.
• Understand the required SDLC stage gates, deliverables, and documentation needed to progress a technology solution through each phase.
• Manage project plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, actions, and deliverables.
• Partner with business stakeholders, architects, security, technical teams, vendors, and SMEs on solution design and delivery.
• Coordinate cutover, go-live, transition to support, and lessons learned.
• Lead and document business, functional, and system requirements, process flows, user stories, acceptance criteria, traceability, and other required project artifacts.
• Ensure requirements are complete, approved, and appropriately carried through solution design, build, testing, and implementation.
• Translate business and technology requirements into clear, actionable project deliverables.
• Manage Jira project cards, epics, stories, backlogs, and sprints.
• Facilitate sprint planning, backlog refinement, and delivery tracking.
• Manage delivery across both Agile and Waterfall methodologies.
• Track milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, actions, and decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
• Prepare weekly status reporting and facilitate Steering Committee meetings.
• Communicate project progress, risks, issues, decisions, and dependencies to stakeholders.
• Partner with business and technical leadership throughout solution delivery.
• Ensure projects progress through required SDLC stage gates with the appropriate documentation and approvals.
• Lead RFI/RFP processes, vendor evaluation, selection, and vendor management.
• Partner with external vendors throughout solution design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
• Coordinate internal and external resources to ensure successful delivery.
• Lead system, integration, and UAT testing, including test planning, defect management, and resolution.
• Ensure requirements are appropriately validated throughout testing.
• Partner with business and Organizational Change Management (OCM) teams on communications, training, adoption, and business readiness.
