Lead status calls, milestone reviews, and stakeholder briefings so all parties have a clear, accurate view of progress, risks, and decisions required.
Manage expectations proactively, addressing scope, timeline, and deliverable questions before they become escalations.
Translate customer requests into actionable delivery tasks, assess feasibility, flag out-of-scope requests, and route them to the right internal resource.
Escalate risks and customer concerns early, with a clear recommendation.
Delivery Execution
Manage multiple concurrent ZTNA implementations across US commercial customers.
Own service delivery end to end: scope, schedule, budget, milestones, deliverables, and resource coordination.
Maintain delivery documentation throughout each engagement, including project plans, status reports, risk logs, and go-live and close-out records.
Coordinate AppGate delivery engineers on each project, ensuring clear task ownership and removing blockers.
Run change control for all out-of-scope requests: prepare change requests and SOW amendments for commercial approval in Salesforce, and ensure no work proceeds without approved authorization and documentation.
Financial Accountability (P&L)
Own the financial health of assigned projects, including hours burned against contracted hours, utilization, and billing accuracy.
Identify revenue, margin, and schedule risk early; flag burn-rate deviations and propose corrective action before budget is exceeded.
Drive timely milestone completion and customer sign-off to support accurate billing and revenue realization.
Protect services margin by preventing unbilled scope: no out-of-scope work proceeds without an approved change order.
Delivery Quality and Governance
Apply AppGate's global delivery methodology consistently across engagements.
Keep engagements aligned to each customer's security posture, network segmentation, identity, and compliance objectives, not just go-live.
Contribute to delivery documentation standards and templates used across the commercial book of business.
Identify resource constraints and delivery bottlenecks, and propose solutions.
Provide regular delivery and financial reporting to the RVP, Customer Solutions.
Internal Contribution
Contribute to commercial capacity planning and resource forecasting.
Support pre-sales by reviewing SOW drafts, validating scope and delivery feasibility, and flagging delivery risk before commitments are made. This role does not commit scope, timelines, or pricing to customers.
Required Qualifications
5+ years of experience as a customer-facing project or delivery manager, including at least 3 years on cybersecurity or networking engagements.
Experience managing complex B2B technology implementations.

Experience managing project financials in a services P&L environment, including budgets, burn rate, utilization, and billing.
Working knowledge of network segmentation, identity, and access control concepts sufficient to manage delivery without engineering translation.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce and present delivery documentation to a professional standard.
Ability to challenge customers and internal teams constructively when necessary.
Preferred Qualifications
PMP, PRINCE2, or an equivalent project management credential. Proven delivery experience matters more than the credential.
Experience delivering identity and access management (IAM), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), or enterprise security platform deployments.
