On behalf of our client, a Telecommunications client servicing the law enforcement sector internationally based in Nicosia, GRS Recruitment is seeking a Senior Project Manager. As Senior Project Manager, you will own the full lifecycle of complex, multi-disciplinary projects — from requirement definition and planning through execution, delivery, and successful handover in the customer's environment. You will operate at the center of a matrix organization, aligning R&D, Product, QA, Operations, and customers around a single plan, and you'll set the standard for how project management is done. This is a senior, high-ownership position for someone who combines strong technical fluency with the leadership to drive decisions, manage risk, and deliver on time and on budget.
MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent projects across the full lifecycle — scoping, planning, execution, monitoring, and closing — for both internal product development and customer-facing turnkey programs.
- Define project scope, objectives, and technical feasibility together with all relevant internal departments, and translate them into a realistic, resource-loaded work plan.
- Lead execution across a strong matrix organization — R&D (HW & SW), Product Management, QA, Integration, Operations, and Logistics — keeping every stakeholder aligned on requirements, schedule, and budget.
- Drive HW and SW R&D through every phase: scoping, planning, task and milestone tracking, testing, and handover to production.
- Take full responsibility for delivering on time, to quality and technical specification, and within the agreed budget.
- Own delivery risk end to end — identify, communicate, and drive mitigation and contingency plans before issues become delays; escalate decisively when needed.
- Establish and run clear communication plans; report progress, metrics (quality, performance, capacity/load), and risks to management and customers.
- Lead the creation of project documentation — SOW, technical characterization, user manuals, training materials — and manage CRM data throughout the project.
- Direct and guide cross-functional teams throughout the process, facilitating debate and driving timely decisions on the right solutions.
- Secure customer acceptance of deliverables, and run post-project evaluations to capture what worked and what to improve.
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal stakeholders, key partners, and customers.
- Mentor and elevate project management practice across the organization, leading the rollout of new processes and tools.

- Excellent interpersonal, facilitation, and communication skills; able to drive decisions and align diverse stakeholders.
