As a Senior Project Manager, you lead the end-to-end execution of projects involving physical products, electromechanical hardware, equipment and infrastructure, ensuring delivery within committed timelines, budget, quality and customer requirements, aligning team efforts with offer goals and ensuring that Agile principles and practices are adhered to throughout the offer lifecycle.

You coordinate cross-functional engineering teams and work closely with stakeholders involved in areas such as electromechanical, testing, marketing, industrialization, manufacturing and supply chain.

This role requires a strong Project Management background in electronicmechanical hardware or industrial environments. Experience with Agile and Scrum methodologies is also important, as you will work with backlogs, priorities, iterations and cross-functional teams. However, this is not a software-focused Scrum Master position: the core of the role is managing the execution of projects linked to tangible products and systems.

You ensure alignment and partnership with Product Owners and other stakeholders to ensure portfolio prioritization and execution throughout the project lifecycle. You translate objectives and customer requirements into clear execution plans, coordinate activities across different disciplines, and manage risks, dependencies, resources, costs and timelines.

You facilitate the appropriate Agile/Scrum rituals, support backlog prioritization and help teams improve their way of working. You remove impediments, drive decision-making and promote continuous improvement while keeping a strong focus on delivery and project execution.

You exercise independent judgment to resolve issues impacting project results, often working across multiple teams and in situations where priorities or dependencies may change.

You act as an intermediary between the development teams and stakeholders, ensuring that all parties are kept informed and aligned.
