Looking for a senior Project Manager for a global Food Enterprise project focused on migrating data models to a new tech stack, increasing data governance maturity, and unifying data products as part of a business integration.

- Change Control & Scope Management
Support disciplined scope and change management across the project lifecycle.
- Track scope changes and ensure impacts to schedule, cost, and resources are understood
- Facilitate change intake and approval workflows
- Ensure approved changes are reflected in plans, reporting, and delivery commitments
- Cutover & Hypercare Coordination Support Provide project management support through cutover and stabilization phases.
- Coordinate readiness activities across testing, change, and cutover leads
