Senior Project Manager

About the Position

Avenga is an international engineering firm helping businesses operate with AI at the core. With 6,000+ experts worldwide, we combine engineering expertise with AI-native thinking to turn ambitious ideas into real-world impact across industries, technologies, and markets.

At the core of the role, we are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager with a technical background based in Buenos Aires to lead and coordinate complex technology initiatives across Infrastructure, Platform, Cloud, and Engineering teams.

The Project Manager will not be responsible for implementing technical solutions but must possess enough technical knowledge to understand engineering challenges, facilitate decision-making, and ensure successful project outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Plan, execute, and control technology projects from inception to delivery, defining scope, timeline, milestones, and success criteria for each phase together with the Technical Lead.
• Proactively manage dependencies, risks, and impediments, anticipating blockers across streams (infrastructure, networking, security, development, QA) and proposing mitigation actions before they impact the schedule.
• Coordinate multiple teams working in parallel without direct reporting lines, achieving alignment on priorities and delivery commitments through influence-based leadership in matrix environments.
• Build and maintain executive-level visibility of projects: progress dashboards, reports for steering committees, with a focus on required decisions rather than just status updates.
• Facilitate communication between technical teams and business areas, translating technical complexity into executive-level messages focused on impact.
• Maintain a systemic view of the project, assessing how each decision or delay in one stream affects the overall plan, and adjusting priorities accordingly.
• Manage relationships with vendors and third parties involved in the project, if applicable, tracking their commitments, deliverables, and SLAs.
• Ensure external dependencies are accounted for in the project timeline and do not become unforeseen blockers.
• Oversee project budget tracking, controlling expenditure execution and ensuring financial visibility of initiatives for relevant stakeholders.
• Ensure documentation and traceability of the program: decision logs, change records, formalized deliverables, and execution evidence. This is especially critical in regulated environments where audits may require full project traceability.
• Drive continuous improvement of management processes: incorporate lessons learned at the end of each phase, optimize follow-up ceremonies, and standardize practices to scale the model for future projects.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience managing or coordinating technology projects involving Infrastructure, Platform, Cloud, or Software Engineering teams particularly those related to infrastructure, OpenShift, cluster migrations, or cloud migration initiatives and services.
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and the ability to work within hybrid or predictive project delivery frameworks when required.
• Technical mindset with the ability to understand engineering concepts, software development workflows, infrastructure, and operations.
• Experience using project management tools such as Jira, Microsoft Project, or similar platforms.
• Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication skills, with experience engaging operational teams, management, and senior leadership.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making capabilities, including the ability to navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and resolve conflicts effectively.
• Experience managing external vendors and third-party technology partners.

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud-native technologies and distributed systems, including Kubernetes, OpenShift, AWS, or Azure.
• Familiarity with orchestration tools, workflow automation, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices.
• Experience leveraging AI or automation tools to improve project management efficiency and team productivity.
• Experience working in regulated industries, particularly within financial services or banking environments.

We Offer

• Opportunity to work with a leading international engineering firm.
• Be part of a diverse and inclusive team.
• Competitive compensation package.
• Professional growth and development opportunities.
