Job Description Summary:
The Senior Enterprise Engagement Manager owns delivery of assigned mainframe modernization engagements end to end — from assessment and delivery planning through migration, cutover, stabilization and handover — in environments where an unplanned outage is not an acceptable outcome. This role reports to the Director, Technical Project Management within Enterprise Services. This is a senior individual contributor role on Rocket's Technical Career Path. You will run your engagements with a high degree of independence under limited to general supervision, exercising the judgement that keeps scope, schedule, cost, quality and risk under control, and escalating early — with a recommendation — when a decision needs the Director or an executive sponsor. The problems you take on are complex but generally well framed: they call for disciplined analysis across multiple systems, contracts and stakeholders rather than invention from a blank sheet. You will also help raise the standard of the practice. That means coaching and reviewing the work of less experienced project managers on shared engagements, and contributing the templates, checklists and lessons learned that the Director is institutionalizing across Enterprise Services. The role has no direct reports — influence here comes from credibility with customers, delivery teams and peers. Success looks like engagements that land on scope, schedule and margin; customers who treat you as a trusted delivery lead rather than a status reporter; and a project management practice that is measurably more repeatable because of what you contributed back to it.
Own assigned engagements end to end
Plan, organize and execute mainframe modernization software delivery and implementation engagements for assigned customers, from initiation through closeout, with a high degree of autonomy.
Hold accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality and risk objectives on your engagements, which may span multiple concurrent workstreams, for example:
Assessment, discovery and delivery planning
Migration, re-platforming or re-hosting execution
Integration with surrounding systems and hybrid cloud targets
Testing, cutover and rollback readiness
Post-go-live stabilization, handover and customer adoption
Apply advanced project management and technical principles to delivery problems that are complex but mostly defined, weighing system, contractual and stakeholder considerations before committing to a course of action.
Set and continually manage delivery expectations with project team members, customer stakeholders and external partners.
Demonstrate a working understanding of software and hardware implementation activities — deployment, integration and customer adoption — sufficient to challenge plans, estimates and readiness claims credibly.
Control schedule, cost, change and risk
