Senior Project Manager (Salesforce Exp Mandatory)

As a Senior Salesforce Project Manager, you will lead, orchestrate, and own the end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-cloud enterprise Salesforce implementations using Agile methodologies, SAFe frameworks, and modern, AI-enabled delivery practices. You will be directly accountable for delivery excellence across highly visible global accounts, program-level financial performance, strategic governance, and C-suite stakeholder alignment, operating with a mature business-owner, consultative, and customer-first mindset.

This role requires advanced strategic thinking, exceptional executive presence, and a proven track record of hands-on delivery leadership to turn around complex Salesforce programs, maximise project margins, mitigate systemic risks, and scale best-in-class delivery practices across the organisation.

• Scale Agile & Delivery Leadership: Champion and institutionalize Agile delivery architectures using Scrum, Lean, and SAFe frameworks. Drive multi-track sprint execution, rigorous backlog prioritization, predictive flow metrics, and foster high-performing, self-organizing, cross-functional global delivery squads.
• Strategic Planning & Portfolio Roadmap Management: Architect and govern integrated portfolio plans and long-term delivery roadmaps. Ensure transparent, data-driven progress reporting, proactive macro-risk visibility, and complex technical dependency management across the global engagement lifecycle.
• C-Suite & Executive Stakeholder Management: Serve as trusted advisor to senior leaders. Drive alignment across global organizations through executive communication, steering committees, and proactive escalation management.
• Quality Governance & Institutional Excellence: Design and enforce delivery governance, engineering standards, and quality benchmarks. Implement quality checkpoints to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.
• Strategic Resource & Capital Optimization: Orchestrate and optimize multi-shore resource demand planning, manage complex program budgets, accurate forecasts, and financial reconciliation while engineering mitigation strategies for structural delivery risks.
• Global Synchronisation & Timezone Flexibility: Maintain the structural timezone flexibility required to ensure seamless synchronisation, seamless governance, and executive support across global delivery regions (AMER/EMEA/APAC).
