Join Microsoft Industry Solutions Delivery (ISD) as a Senior Project Manager, driving transformative AI and cloud solutions for our most strategic global customers. ISD is a dynamic organization at the forefront of innovation, empowering clients through cutting-edge technologies and repeatable, industry-specific solutions.

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of digital and AI transformations, collaborating with a global team of experts including sellers, engineers, data scientists, and consultants. You will be instrumental in delivering comprehensive solutions that meet unique customer needs, powered by the Microsoft Cloud and AI.

Embrace our culture and values as you contribute to delivering Microsoft's most challenging programs and shaping AI execution models.

As a Senior Project Manager, you will be responsible for driving end-to-end delivery, from envisioning and planning to cloud consumption and usage. This includes managing account delivery obligations, leading steering committee meetings, and collaborating with Customer Success resources to overcome consumption blockers and ensure customers achieve full value from their investments. You will hold accountability for project delivery forecasts and manage fiscal responsibilities, ensuring projects remain within budget while driving profitability and mitigating risks.

Key responsibilities include fostering strong customer relationships, anticipating and managing issues, and communicating project status effectively. You will also be tasked with driving project initiation for medium to high complexity projects, managing resource commitments, and creating work breakdown structures. Collaboration with internal teams and external partners for contracting and resource onboarding is essential. Furthermore, you will contribute to pre-sales efforts by articulating business value, assessing risks, and developing Statements of Work (SOWs).

Your role will involve developing detailed project plans, managing scope, resources, and schedules in alignment with customer plans. Establishing clear expectations and accountabilities with project teams and stakeholders through kick-off meetings and proactive engagement is crucial. You will orchestrate and oversee project metrics, manage risks and issues proactively, and ensure timely completion and quality of deliverables. Financial management of projects, including cost reduction and margin improvement, is a critical aspect. Stakeholder communication on project health, issues, and financial performance, tailored to the audience, is paramount. Finally, you will drive timely project closure, contribute to process improvements by sharing lessons learned, and mentor less experienced colleagues.

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience. An MBA is preferred. Fluency in AI and its possibilities is a highly desirable plus.

You should possess 10+ years of experience in complex project/program delivery and a minimum of 5 years leading large-scale enterprise transformation programs. Proven success in delivering Cloud and AI-centric programs (Azure, Data, Security, Application Modernization) is essential. Strong financial and commercial management experience, including forecasting, margins, and change control, is required. Exceptional executive-level communication and stakeholder management capabilities are a must.

Technical requirements include experience in AI and leading Gen AI technical engineering roles. You must have experience delivering Azure AI, OpenAI, Copilot, and Data & Analytics solutions at scale. The ability to engage technically with Architects and Engineers on AI architecture trade-offs, and a solid understanding of Responsible AI, enterprise AI risk, security, and compliance considerations, are expected.

Preferred qualifications include PMP, PgMP, SAFe, or Agile leadership certifications, along with domain expertise in Financial Services, Manufacturing, AutoMobile, Healthcare, or CloudNative industries. Prior experience in Microsoft ISD, Consulting Services, or Global Delivery environments, and a demonstrated success in driving AI adoption from experimentation to enterprise scale, are advantageous. Leadership expectations include being trusted to deliver Microsoft’s hardest programs, influencing across organizations without formal authority, and shaping delivery strategy and AI execution models.
