At Savant, we’re building scalable, forward-looking solutions that support the growth of our firm and the success of our clients. We’re looking for a Project Manager to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that drive meaningful business outcomes across the organization. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys bringing structure to ambiguity, and can align teams, priorities, and execution to deliver results.  As a Project Manager, you’ll own the delivery of key initiatives from start to finish—ensuring projects are well-defined, aligned, and executed successfully.



You will:




  • Lead the full project lifecycle—from intake and planning through execution, implementation, and stabilization

  • Coordinate across business, technology, and operations teams to keep priorities aligned and moving forward

  • Develop project plans, timelines, and status reporting to maintain visibility and accountability

  • Facilitate governance routines (planning meetings, stakeholder updates, retrospectives) to drive progress and alignment

  • Identify risks, manage dependencies, and proactively problem-solve to keep initiatives on track

  • Communicate clearly with stakeholders, including providing executive-level updates on progress, risks, and decisions

  • Help build and refine scalable processes, tools, and workflows that improve how work gets done across the firm



What Success Looks Like

  • Projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to business objectives

  • Teams are aligned, informed, and working effectively across functions

  • Risks are anticipated and addressed early

  • Leadership has clear visibility into progress, outcomes, and decisions

  • Scalable, repeatable processes are developed to support continued growth
