Senior Integration Project Manager

Key Responsibilities

Integration Delivery Management: End-to-end planning, execution, and delivery of complex software and system integration projects (e.g., API-led connectivity, legacy-to-cloud migrations, ERP/CRM integrations, and third-party ecosystem rollouts).

Agile Governance & Tooling: Establish robust project tracking mechanisms. Act as the administrator/expert for Jira and Confluence, managing sprints, backlogs, velocity charts, burndown metrics, and cross-team dependencies.

Tech-Driven Leadership: Keep pace with modern tech frameworks. Facilitate deep-dive technical discussions around microservices architecture, middleware (MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, Kafka), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Stakeholder & Vendor Management: Act as the primary bridge between engineering teams, QA, product owners, vendor partners, and C-level executives. Translate technical complexities into business-friendly progress updates.

Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify integration bottlenecks, architectural dependencies, data security risks, and scope creep. Formulate decisive mitigation plans to keep delivery timelines on track.

Team Leadership & Mentorship: Lead, inspire, and mentor distributed, cross-functional engineering teams in India and globally, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

Required Skills and Qualifications

Experience: 15+ years of core project management experience within the IT, software development, or global consulting sectors, with a proven track record of delivering multi-million dollar projects.

Integration Domain Expertise: Deep knowledge of integration intricacies, including data synchronization, security protocols (OAuth, SSL), error handling, latency optimization, and middleware routing.

Tools Proficiency: Advanced expertise in Jira, Jira Align, or MS Project for tracking complex software delivery workflows.

Tech Savviness: Strong conceptual understanding of modern software paradigms—CI/CD pipelines, DevOps, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and cloud-native application architectures.

Communication: Flawless verbal and written English communication skills. The ability to command respect, negotiate timelines, and resolve conflicts across global teams is non-negotiable.
