We work at the cutting edge of technology to advise, assess, automate, and ultimately help companies navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. We are headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with offices across the U.S. and U.K., and we support clients around the world.

But that’s not who we are – that’s just what we do.

We are thought leaders, consultants, and cybersecurity experts, but above all else, we are a team of passionate problem-solvers who are hungry to learn, grow, and make a difference.

The role serves as the primary project management partner to clients, sponsors, and internal delivery teams, translating engagement objectives into executable plans and measurable outcomes.

Working across Coalfire’s Cloud, Compliance Advisory, Cloud Maintenance & Operations, and related consulting practices, the Senior Project Manager establishes delivery structure and manages scope, schedule, budget, resources, risks, issues, dependencies, decisions, quality, and client commitments.

This role requires strong consulting presence, sound business judgment, executive communication, and the ability to operate independently in a matrixed environment. The Senior Project Manager leads through influence, brings transparency to delivery, and protects both the client experience and Coalfire’s delivery standards.
