Join Team CARFAX as a Senior Project Manager

Isn't it time you bragged about where you work? At CARFAX, we do, every day. We pride ourselves on being mission-focused on helping to grow a brand built on accuracy and integrity. We care deeply about our products and our customers. We're more than just a company: We help millions of consumers make more-informed decisions every day. We know that our teammates are our most valuable asset, and we value a balanced life while tackling challenging projects in a fast-paced environment. One last thing: Our four-day week continues in Summer 2024

We're seeking a Sr. Project Manager to focus on defining, planning, and implementing diverse projects within the organization. You'll work hand in hand with a large team of project managers and analysts, a driven set of researchers and data technologists, and business and technology leaders from across the enterprise.

At CARFAX, we believe in the power of teamwork and value in-person interactions so that we can collaborate and thrive together. This position will require 3 days in the office per week subject to change with future business needs.

As a Senior Project Manager, you will:
  • Be responsible for all aspects of project management and agile development team ceremonies.
  • Develop and refine project plans specifying goals, staffing, scheduling, risks, and contingency plans
  • Lead large, multi-location and virtual groups of multi-disciplinary teams
  • Manage changes to project scope, schedule, and costs to keep the project plan accurate, updated, and reflective of authorized project changes
  • Manage dependencies across teams and collaborate with other project managers and team leaders to ensure overall project is completed within plan parameters
  • Ensure a common understanding across stakeholders and team members by setting and managing expectations
  • Gather, articulate, and represent project requirements for our agile software development teams
  • Anticipate and measure project performance and progress using various quantitative tools and techniques to identify and quantify any variances, perform corrective actions, and communicate to stakeholders
  • Proactively identify and plan for risks as well as implement approved actions and workarounds to mitigate risk events
  • Lead cross-functional assessments for projects in the Concept phase and drive the conversion of conceptual ideas into actionable and clearly understood project deliverables and timelines
  • Generate key project deliverables and facilitate their review
  • Facilitate cross-functional team meetings, sometimes with C level executives to ensure communication is clear and teams are aligned
To be successful in this role you will need:
  • Bachelor's degree with a minimum 10 years of relevant work experience focusing on project management
  • Demonstrated ability to execute on tasks that are sometimes vaguely defined using prior experience, analytical skills, and available research
  • Thorough experience delivering projects using an agile methodology
  • Experience managing remote project teams of 10 or more or complex multi-disciplinary projects that involve multiple project teams
  • Ability to work with and communicate, both written and verbally across multiple job levels, including C level executives
  • Ability to mentor junior project managers in the use of proven project management tools and practices
  • Ability to travel approximately 10% of the time (when allowed based on current restrictions)
Desired Qualifications:
  • Project Management Institute (PMI) certification such as the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM) certification through the Scrum Alliance Experience with the Atlassian Suite - Confluence/Jira
What's in it for you:
  • Competitive compensation, benefits and generous time-off policies
  • 4-Day summer work weeks and a winter holiday break
  • 401(k) / DCPP matching
  • Annual bonus program
  • Casual, dog-friendly, and innovative office spaces
