OverviewIndigo Beam is seeking a Senior Project Manager experienced in running end-to-end software development projects for IT Consulting companies.

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
- Strong application development project experience
- 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
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field
- Experience with a Big Four consulting firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, or KPMG) or another comparable top-tier technology/management consulting organization
- Prior software development experience
- PMP and/or CSM (Certified Scrum Master)
