Senior Project Manager

NiCE empowers organisations worldwide to transform customer interactions into actionable business intelligence. Our Deployment Services team sits at the heart of that mission, driving the successful implementation of NiCE's cloud customer experience solutions - including the CXone platform for enterprise clients across the globe.

The Senior Project Manager (PM) owns end-to-end delivery of CXone and customer interaction analytics engagements, serving as the primary point of contact for customers throughout the project lifecycle. Engagements include platform deployments, migrations, upgrades, and change orders in cloud environments.

The Senior PM provides strong leadership to align customer and NiCE resources, expectations, and timelines. They facilitate clear, proactive communication across NiCE's functional organisations, including Technical Services, Sales, Pre-Sales, Technical Support, and Consulting Services and act as a trusted advocate for the customer. They hold overall accountability for delivery quality, schedule adherence, and customer satisfaction, while maintaining visibility across all ‘business as usual’ touchpoints including, Customer Success and Support.
