The successful Sr. PM will exhibit strong project planning abilities across the core project management knowledge areas as defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI), and have robust prior experience justifying and planning projects, to include defining and baselining project scopes (via charters, scope statements, work breakdown structures, statements of work), schedules, budgets, communications plans, and resource allocations.
