Product Owner

Our client is seeking an experienced and strategic Project Owner to lead the adoption, integration, and ongoing optimization of our centralized project management platform-Sensei, built on Microsoft 365. While direct Sensei experience is preferred, they are open to candidates with hands-on expertise in similar enterprise project tools (e.g., Monday.com, Asana, Planview, Smartsheet) who can ramp up quickly.

This individual will own the platform roadmap, collaborate cross-functionally to streamline project tracking across all business units, and lead the configuration and optimization of Microsoft 365 tools that support project visibility and governance.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the enterprise-wide owner of Sensei and its integration with Microsoft 365 tools.
  
• Work closely with the external Sensei vendor partner to manage ongoing platform enhancements, support, and best practice alignment.
  
• Own and continuously evolve the rollout roadmap, including timelines, business unit onboarding strategies, and stakeholder engagement plans.
  
• Drive cross-organizational adoption by training users, developing documentation, and implementing change management strategies.
  
• Configure and maintain integrations with Microsoft Power BI, Azure DevOps, Teams, Project for the Web, and Power Automate to support robust project visibility.
  
• Ensure project data quality, governance, and reporting consistency across all business units.
  
• Identify and remove barriers to adoption by simplifying workflows and tailoring platform capabilities to business needs.
  
• Establish regular feedback loops with users and leadership to drive improvements and platform evolution.
  
• Translate project needs into configuration updates, dashboards, automations, or process enhancements within the platform.
  
• Collaborate with PMO leaders, IT, and operational teams to ensure project platform aligns with enterprise goals and compliance requirements.
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Project Management, or a related field preferred.
  
• Ability to be on-site 3+ days/week in the Greater Philadelphia area.
  
• 5+ years of experience in product/platform ownership, project systems administration, or project operations-ideally in a multi-business-unit organization.
  
• Direct experience with enterprise project management platforms such as Sensei, Monday.com, Planview, Asana, Smartsheet, or similar tools.
  
• Strong experience configuring and managing tools in the Microsoft ecosystem: Power BI, Azure DevOps, Power Automate, Teams, and SharePoint.
  
• Demonstrated success in driving tool adoption, building stakeholder engagement, and leading change in a project-oriented environment.
  
• Proven ability to manage platform roadmaps, execute rollouts, and optimize project data flow across complex organizations.
  
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to train, influence, and collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.
  
• Experience managing vendor relationships and working closely with external solution partners.
  
• Strong analytical mindset with a focus on simplification, automation, and continuous improvement.
  

Top 3 Priorities for the Role:

• Ramp up quickly on Sensei (if not already experienced), working closely with the external Sensei implementation partner and internal stakeholders.
  
• Own and refine the rollout roadmap, enhancing it with clear timelines, stakeholder milestones, and an execution strategy.
  
• Standardize Sensei adoption across all business units, ensuring consistent project management practices, full visibility, and alignment with organizational priorities.
