What you can expect as a Senior Project Manager at LeadDesk
This is a hands-on delivery role where no two projects are the same. You will carry a portfolio of concurrent projects, ranging from new enterprise customer implementations to significant expansions within existing accounts, each with its own stakeholder landscape, timeline, and dependencies.

Driving project governance by setting up and running steering group meetings, both internal and with customers
-
Coordinating cross-functional project teams across support, R&D, product, and sales to ensure delivery stays on track
-
Acting as the primary point of contact for customers throughout the project, understanding their needs and escalating when needed
-
Running customer workshops and keeping communication clear and consistent internally and externally
-
Monitoring task completion and surfacing risks early, with the ownership to address them
-
Planning and managing handover to customer success and support teams so the transition is smooth and service continuity is maintained
What success looks like in this role in the first 6 months and beyond
- You have taken ownership of your project portfolio and manage it independently
-
Projects are progressing on time and within scope, with customers and internal stakeholders informed and aligned throughout
-
You have built strong working relationships across the organisation and are a trusted delivery partner
-
Steering group processes are in place and running well, both internally and with customers
-
You have a clear approach to handovers and customer success teams know what to expect when a project closes
This is where the match happens
