* This role supports a mission-critical, high-visibility project: migrating ASME’s highest revenue-generating business unit from a legacy system to Salesforce.
* The consulting firm already has a Solutions Lead, Technical Architect, Business Analyst, and Delivery Manager in place.
* The team is seeking a seasoned, polished, and highly competent Salesforce Project Manager to own delivery execution, drive timelines, and interface with complex, political stakeholders.

* Own project plans, RAID logs, risk mitigation, and sprint progress tracking across internal and client teams.
* Serve as the day-to-day liaison between the client (ASME) and the consulting team.
* Collaborate closely with the Technical Architect, Business Analyst, and Delivery Manager to identify blockers, assign ownership, and report on milestones.
* Facilitate daily standups, weekly status calls, sprint reviews, and executive steering committee updates.
* Navigate organizational politics and help maintain positive stakeholder relationships.
* Proactively identify gaps in execution and keep the team aligned with delivery goals and expectations.

REQUIREMENTS

Must-Have Technical and Project Skills:

* 8–12+ years of IT Project Management experience, with at least 3 years of Salesforce project leadership.
* Proven success managing Salesforce migration or rebuild projects in complex, enterprise environments.
* Proficiency in project tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Smartsheet, Asana, or equivalent).
* Strong grasp of Agile/Scrum methodologies; comfortable driving sprint cadences and release cycles.
* Familiarity with Salesforce core products (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, etc.) and 3rd-party integrations.
Nice to have: Previous experience supporting Engineers or working with Engineering/Manufacturing Industry customers is ideal!

Soft Skills and Executive Presence:

* Demonstrated ability to command respect and drive accountability across a matrixed delivery team.
* Comfortable navigating intense, high-pressure environments with political sensitivity.
* Clear, proactive communicator with an eye for detail and follow-through.
