Senior IT Project Manager (Software Development)

Indigo Beam Consulting provides a common-sense approach to solving business problems through technology.

Born out of Bluware Inc. which has been in business for twenty-seven years, Indigo Beam was conceived as a full-service business consulting company that deeply cares about creating technology solutions that are in harmony with the environments in which they exist.

We believe that for a technology solution to be sustainable, it must be congruent with the business processes it serves, indigenously maintainable, and cognizant of the unique traits of the organization which it calls home.

Engagement: Full-time (W2)

Location: Houston, TX or Remote

Overview

Indigo Beam is seeking a Senior Project Manager experienced in running end-to-end software development projects for IT Consulting companies . You will personally lead complex, client-facing projects.

You must have experience running end-to-end software development lifecycle projects, including leading requirements gathering, DevOps management, sprint management, and development teams to deliver to the agreed scope.

The ideal candidate will bring substantial experience from a well-established IT consulting organization serving enterprise clients in the U.S. market , preferably a Big Four or comparable top-tier consulting firm.

Projects span application development, AI initiatives, modern application delivery, business process improvement, systems integration, and IT integration work supporting client M&A, including systems consolidation, data migration, and application rationalization.

Responsibilities

• Personally lead 2–3 complex, client-facing engagements at a time from initiation through delivery, owning on-time, on-budget delivery at the margin sold
• Run Agile delivery hands-on using Azure DevOps: write and groom user stories, configure sprints, track velocity, manage capacity and resource allocation, and produce status and risk reporting
• Drive project planning, requirements gathering, business analysis, and user story development — especially during discovery and early shaping
• Identify risks, remove obstacles, and keep engagements on scope, schedule, budget, and quality
• Lead distributed project teams spanning the U.S., Brazil, and India
• Oversee and coach 2–3 project managers running additional engagements and establish delivery standards across the portfolio
• Communicate effectively with C-level stakeholders, client teams, and technical teams; escalate and resolve issues early
• Support SOW scoping, estimation, and engagement planning as needed
  

Requirements

Must Have

• 10+ years of professional experience, including 7+ years in IT consulting leading complex, client-facing engagements

• Demonstrated experience operating in a structured consulting environment with responsibility for client delivery, commercial commitments, executive stakeholder management, and multiple concurrent engagements
  
• Hands-on Agile/Scrum delivery from a PM perspective, including user stories, sprint configuration, velocity tracking, capacity planning, and resource allocation
  
• Experience delivering projects within the Microsoft ecosystem, including Azure, .NET, and/or Power Platform
  
• Ability to lead projects from the ground up, including discovery, requirements gathering, solution shaping, planning, and delivery
  
• Strong business analysis skills
  
• Experience leading distributed teams across multiple time zones
  
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills
  
• Willingness to work hands-on in delivery details rather than operating exclusively at a governance level
