Why this Role Matters 

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll be at the center of how Litera builds and ships the products that are transforming legal technology.

• Own program management for active R&D integrations, including planning, status tracking, reporting, and meeting facilitation across cross-functional teams.
• Build and maintain integrated project plans with clearly assigned responsibilities, dependencies, and critical path visibility for leadership and stakeholders.
• Champion Litera's RCDOs (Rally Cry Defining Objectives), ensuring consistency and quality of data, tracking program progress, and surfacing risks early.
• Manage competing priorities, shifting timelines, and project changes with confidence—escalating risks and recommending solutions before they become blockers.
• Deliver clear, regular reporting on project health, progress, and outcomes to leadership and cross-functional partners.
