Job description

Our client is actively seeking a Sr. Project Manager to lead a program of business security projects as part of a global transformation.

This opportunity will be onsite 3 days per week in North Chicago, IL

Summary

The Project Manager will play a key role in leading and coordinating enterprise-level initiatives including Global Security transformation efforts, strategic technology projects, and other cross-functional initiatives approved through the Project Management Office (PMO) governance.

This role requires a PM who can manage complexity, enable executive decision-making, and drive disciplined execution across multiple high‑visibility initiatives—often operating with incomplete information, evolving scope, and senior stakeholders.

Top Skills Required:

• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with competing priorities using a structured intake, sequencing, and delivery model.
• Comfortable operating at both project-level execution and portfolio-level tradeoff discussions (capacity, priority, timing).
• Experience supporting PMO governance, not just running isolated projects.

Executive & Steering Committee Enablement

• Demonstrated experience preparing leadership-ready materials: decision briefs, status summaries, risks/tradeoffs, and options—not raw project updates.
• Skilled at framing work so leaders can clearly answer: approve, defer, change scope, or stop.
• Comfortable facilitating governance forums (SteerCo, leadership reviews) and following through on decisions.

Cross-Functional Influence & Change Management

• Strong ability to work across Security, BTS, HR, Legal, Compliance, EHS, Facilities, and Regions—without formal authority.
• Experience supporting change management, communications, and training rollouts, especially where policy or behavior change is involved.
• Understands that adoption risk is just as critical as technical delivery.

Comfort in Regulated / Security-Adjacent Environments

• Familiarity with security, compliance-driven, or regulated environments (physical security, IT/security systems, pharma, manufacturing, privacy, safety).
• Understands concepts like risk, controls, audits, access management, and policy enforcement—even if they are not the technical expert.

Structured Thinking + Comfort with Ambiguity

• Ability to bring structure to unclear work, especially early-stage initiatives coming out of Phoenix, AI exploration, or strategy discussions.
• Strong judgment on when to add rigor vs.
• Keep things light, depending on risk and scale.
• Proactive, self-directed, and comfortable iterating as strategy evolves.
