📋 Description

• Own the full implementation lifecycle for a portfolio of concurrent EAM software projects, from contract handoff and kickoff through go-live and post-deployment handoff, operating independently with minimal oversight. • Serve as the primary point of contact for client project leadership, including program-level sponsors and C-suite stakeholders; build trusted, long-term client relationships that support client retention. • Track project budgets and revenue milestones in alignment with percent-complete invoicing structures; identify and surface variances early. • Established track record of managing stakeholders at the program and executive level, including steering committee facilitation and C-suite communication. • Willingness and ability to travel to client sites across the U.S. up to approximately 20% of the time. • Experience managing implementations for large, multi-stakeholder municipal or public sector organizations with complex procurement and governance structures. • Familiarity with percent-complete and milestone-complete invoicing models and SOW-based revenue tracking. • Lead meaningful implementations that directly improve how utilities and public sector organizations manage critical infrastructure assets. • Develop and maintain comprehensive project plans, including work breakdown structures, milestone schedules, resource assignments, and critical path tracking; proactively adjust plans to maintain delivery integrity. • Establish and enforce project governance frameworks: RAID logs, change control processes, decision registers, and escalation paths; model governance discipline for junior team members. • Manage project scope in collaboration with clients and the assigned Senior Implementation Consultant; manage change requests through a structured change control process and address scope creep without escalation in most cases. • Facilitate project status meetings, steering committee updates, and executive briefings with clients; produce concise, high-quality status reports and decision documentation independently. • Proactively identify, assess, and manage project risks and issues across all dimensions; develop and execute mitigation strategies with minimal escalation to the Director of Project Delivery. • Coordinate internal delivery resources — Senior Implementation Consultants, data migration specialists, integration analysts, trainers, client support, and product teams — ensuring cross-functional alignment throughout the project lifecycle. • Contribute to delivery team methodology by sharing lessons learned, reviewing and improving project templates, and providing informal mentorship and sounding-board support to less experienced PMs. • Report on portfolio-level project health to the Director of Project Delivery on a regular cadence.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of project management experience leading enterprise B2B/SaaS software implementations, with demonstrated ownership of full-lifecycle delivery across multiple concurrent, complex engagements. • Proven ability to operate independently — managing scope, risk, client expectations, and cross-functional teams without requiring day-to-day direction. • Direct industry experience in utilities (water/wastewater), public works, or facilities management strongly preferred, with working knowledge of maintenance management and asset lifecycle practices. • Prior experience with EAM, CMMS, or operational technology (OT) software implementations is highly desirable. • PMP (Project Management Professional) or PRINCE2 certification required; Agile/Scrum certification (CSM, PMI-ACP) advantageous. • Proficiency in project scheduling tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or equivalent); strong command of WBS, critical path, resource management, change control, and risk management fundamentals. • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent practical experience considered.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible remote-first work environment with a supportive leadership culture and clear pathways for career development. • Collaborate with an experienced delivery team that values rigor, transparency, and continuous improvement. • Be part of a high-growth EAM software company with over 25 years of industry expertise and a growing portfolio of utility and public sector clients.
