Vertiv is seeking a Project Manager to lead end-to-end delivery across teams and regions within the Digital organization. This individual contributor role is responsible for driving the planning, execution, and successful delivery of digital platform initiatives — including Compass AI, Writer AI, Site Scope, Workato, UiPath, Power Automate, and Cursor — while managing scope, schedule, resources, risks, and dependencies across cross-functional teams.

The Project Manager will track and report on project KPIs covering adoption, delivery velocity, quality, and user experience. The role involves using tools such as JIRA and Smartsheet to maintain delivery roadmaps, track risks & milestone.
