Senior project managers occupy an important leadership position in a company. Usually, they plan and direct several or critical projects. Beyond project work, they can also be at other influential intersections, depending on the company's requirements. In addition, they are in contact with the customer and, if desired, prepare market analyses. Communication is crucial for this profession.

Senior project manager - the top and interface of project management
Projects link a basic organisational unit of work and are therefore present in every company. Data, research, development, infrastructure or construction - all of these need to be organised. Senior project managers differ from junior or middle project managers in the scope of responsibility, experience and communication. Depending on the company, they may also take on more advanced tasks at the interfaces with human resources management, stakeholders or corporate management. As diverse as the projects are, so are the requirements for senior project managers. General requirements are:
TEAM BUILDING
Senior project managers are required to learn the latest digital forms of communication. They are constantly linking themselves to further education and have several years of professional experience. This means they can (and should) pass on their skills to less experienced managers. They usually have experience in conducting interviews with candidates. After all, they are at the intersection of human resources management.
They are fundamental to team building and staff motivation. Of course, this also includes maintaining health and hygiene standards. Senior Project Managers are responsible for ensuring that projects run successfully - both for the staff and the management.
They set and monitor KPIs. KPIs are performance indicators that set targets and track their achievement. Among other things, this applies to setting future successes as early indicators or to assessing past successes.
Senior Project Managers evaluate BI (Business Intelligence) performance using BI Tools and Software.
PO and PMO
Senior project managers support both PO (Project Office) and PMO (Project Management Office) tasks. PO means single project management, whereas PMO as a permanent unit supports a multi-project environment of a company.
Here, the ability to oversee different projects is essential. So is the ability to coordinate distributed teams. Senior project managers set priorities for the company and take responsibility for the process. They are also familiar with the various planning models and their advantages and disadvantages. They are proficient in project portfolio management (PPM) as well as various software solutions that provide guidance in this field.
Monitoring
Senior project managers identify possible security gaps and can fix them. They are the ones who find quick solutions to issues. On the one hand, they supervise projects of inexperienced project managers (junior or middle). On the other hand, they are the ones to ensure credibility towards the stakeholders. They are responsible for monitoring the project and take over in case of an emergency.
Budgeting and time management
Project managers are responsible to stakeholders for controlling the balance between time and budget. The initial budget must be adhered to throughout the life of the project.
Here, senior project managers work directly with the company's clients. They have to consider the team as well as the project tasks. To achieve this, they monitor the budget, install automatic warnings of budget overruns and always keep an eye on the schedule.
Senior project managers also prepare the invoices for the projects. For future projects, they can set the budgeting.
Collaboration
Senior project managers therefore have a variety of tasks and are an important point of contact within the company. This makes it all the more indispensable for them to know the tools for collaboration. They weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of each tool for the respective project.
Their knowledge ranges from detailed knowledge of software tools such as Jira for task and project tracking, as well as BI tools. Furthermore, they have knowledge of collaboration tools in communication, documentation, code writing, design and prototyping.
With their exceptional skills, they recognise new product requirements as well as employee competencies. In today's highly connected world, they can even help make the company an attractive place to work (in terms of employer branding).
