About Solutionara
Solutionara is a U.S.-based IT Consulting and Technology Services firm with a Global Delivery Center (GDC) in Noida, India. We are a fast-scaling firm that operates with high ownership, lean teams, and disciplined execution, and we are evolving toward an AI-enabled delivery model focused on enterprise integration, digital transformation, and scalable technology solutions for global clients.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced, technically proficient, client-facing Senior Project Manager to own complex technology engagements and deliver committed business outcomes. This is more than project coordination, status reporting, or Agile ceremony management. You will translate client objectives and agreed scope into executable delivery plans, drive cross-functional teams toward measurable outcomes, proactively resolve risks and dependencies, and maintain strong client confidence throughout the engagement lifecycle.
You will be the primary delivery counterpart for assigned client engagements, working closely with Solution Architects, Technical Leads, Developers, Integration and Data Engineers, QA, DevOps, Business Analysts, client stakeholders, and external vendors.
Success is measured by delivered and accepted outcomes, predictable execution, quality, and stakeholder confidence — not simply by activities completed or reports produced.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-end delivery: Own projects/workstreams from initiation and planning through engineering, testing, deployment, stabilization, and closure. Translate SOWs and client commitments into delivery plans with milestones, owners, timelines, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
- Client-facing leadership: Lead client delivery meetings, milestone reviews, governance discussions, and executive status presentations. Communicate project health transparently and manage challenging conversations on risks, changing priorities, and missed commitments.
- Technical coordination: Coordinate delivery involving enterprise applications, cloud platforms, APIs, middleware, data platforms, digital portals, and legacy modernization. Understand architecture, interfaces, data flows, and deployment requirements well enough to identify risks and challenge assumptions.
- Governance,
risk & dependencies: Maintain project plans, WBS, milestone trackers, RAID logs, decision registers, dependency trackers, and delivery dashboards. Escalate material risks early with facts, impact assessments, and recommended options; lead recovery planning for at-risk engagements.
- Outcome-based delivery: Track progress against committed deliverables and business outcomes, not just task completion. Validate completion with evidence and convert unclear status updates into specific commitments, owners, and next actions.
- Scope & commercial awareness: Track effort and utilization against plan, identify scope expansion, prepare change-impact assessments, and escalate changes through approved governance. (This role does not carry sales targets, account revenue, contracting, or P&L; ownership.)
- Quality, release & acceptance: Coordinate SIT, regression, UAT, defect management, go-live readiness, cutover, rollback planning, hypercare, and transition to support.
- Reporting & executive communication: Prepare concise, decision-oriented updates for clients and Solutionara leadership; translate technical challenges into business impact.
- PMO maturity: Improve delivery governance, templates, reporting standards, and playbooks using Jira, Asana, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or equivalent tools.
- AI-enabled delivery: Use approved AI and automation tools responsibly to improve planning, documentation, reporting, and risk identification — validating outputs for accuracy and confidentiality.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, Business, or a related discipline.
- 8–12 years of experience in project management, technical delivery management, or enterprise technology delivery.
- Demonstrated experience independently managing client-facing IT consulting or technology delivery engagements.
- Experience managing distributed, cross-functional teams across engineering, QA, DevOps, architecture, and business stakeholders.
- Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile, Scrum, and hybrid delivery methodologies.
- Practical experience with project plans, milestone tracking, RAID management, dependency registers, scope control, and executive reporting.
- Experience managing client expectations, escalations, project changes, and delivery recovery plans.
- Solid written and verbal English communication, including client-facing presentations.
- Ability to operate independently, create structure in ambiguity, and drive accountability across stakeholders.
- Willingness to work on-site at our Noida GDC and collaborate with US-based client and leadership teams as required.
Preferred Experience
- Enterprise Integration (Dell Boomi, MuleSoft, Workato, APIs, EDI/B2B), Enterprise Applications (ERP, CRM, JDE, WMS), Cloud & DevOps (AWS, Azure, CI/CD), Data Platforms (CDP, PIM, DAM, analytics), Digital Applications (customer/dealer portals, commerce), or Modernization Programs.
- Managing US or international clients through onsite-offshore delivery models.
- Coordinating multiple vendors, client SMEs, and geographically distributed teams.
- Supporting complex enterprise releases, cutovers, and hypercare.
- PMP, PRINCE2, Scrum, or other recognized project management certification.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted project management and productivity tools.
Prior experience with every listed platform is not required — we value sufficient technical understanding and learning agility to manage complex technology delivery. Ideal Candidate A hands-on, technically aware, client-oriented delivery leader who can explain not only what was done, but what was delivered, how success was validated, and what risks were overcome. Proactive rather than reactive, transparent rather than overly optimistic, and able to maintain client confidence even when challenges arise.

- Gain exposure to cloud, integration, data platforms, application modernization, and AI-enabled delivery.
- Take meaningful ownership of client-facing technology engagements.
- Collaborate directly with technical specialists, delivery leadership, and international stakeholders.
