Job Title: Senior Project Manager, Transformation Delivery

Location: Victoria Island, Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time
Reports to: Chief Executive Officer
Industry: Management Consulting / Organisational Transformation

Why This Role Matters

• As the Senior Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of transformation projects for our clients, working directly with senior leadership to keep complex initiatives on track.
• You will own project governance, risk management, and stakeholder management, serving as the central point of coordination between workstreams and the executive sponsor.
• This is a pivotal role for a strategic operator who can balance disciplined project execution with the executive presence to hold senior stakeholders accountable, on a project that is already underway and needs steady hands from day one.

Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership:
Project Governance and Delivery:

• Own the project plan and timeline, building and maintaining tools such as Gantt charts to track progress against milestones.
• Manage a RAID log and related governance documentation, ensuring risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies are tracked and addressed with discipline.
• Identify risks to delivery before they are raised by others, bringing forward options and recommendations rather than only flagging problems.

Executive Communication and Reporting:

• Prepare board-level presentations and reports that communicate project status, risks, and decisions clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Coordinate meetings across workstreams and with client leadership, setting agendas, documenting outcomes, and tracking actions to closure.

Stakeholder Management:

• Manage stakeholder relationships across levels of seniority, including the ability to challenge timelines and hold stakeholders accountable for deliverables without damaging working relationships.
• Operate as a trusted point of contact for the project sponsor, exercising judgment on escalation and prioritisation.

Requirements
Experience:

• Minimum of five years of project or programme management experience, with at least two years managing complex, cross-functional change or transformation projects.
• Has led or contributed meaningfully to at least one end-to-end transformation, such as an operating model redesign, digital transformation, cost optimisation initiative, mergers and acquisitions integration, or organisational redesign.
• Prior experience at a major global consulting firm strongly preferred.
• Direct experience working with board-level stakeholders on high-visibility initiatives.

Skills and Competencies:

• Strong proficiency in Google Sheets, Excel, and PowerPoint, including Pivot Tables and XLOOKUP at minimum, with basic SQL or Python considered an advantage.
• Familiarity with project management tools such as MS Project, Jira, Asana, or Smartsheet.
• Identifies problems before being asked and proposes options with a clear recommendation rather than presenting issues without direction.
• Absorbs new information quickly enough to apply it effectively in unfamiliar contexts.
• Manages upward and across with confidence, able to hold senior stakeholders accountable while preserving the relationship.
• Maintains attention to detail across every report, deck, and timeline produced.
• Remains composed under pressure and communicates with the presence that gives leadership confidence the project is in capable hands.

Certifications:

• A project management certification such as PMP, PRINCE2, or a recognized Agile or Scrum credential is preferred.

Why Join Us?

• Lead delivery on a high-visibility transformation project with direct exposure to senior leadership.
• Operate with genuine ownership over governance, timeline, and stakeholder management, rather than a purely administrative project role.
• Work alongside a retained advisory partner committed to setting the project up for success.
