The Companion Animal Group (CAG) Dx Business Unit PMO is seeking a Sr. Project Manager to join our team, with a focus on supporting the project management needs of CAG Dx product management teams — including our CAG Dx software products. This is a dynamic, high-impact role for a Project Manager who is experienced and comfortable working alongside Agile software teams, and who can adapt their approach across both structured project work and the broader needs of fast-moving product teams.
You will work across multiple workstreams and initiatives simultaneously, bringing structure, clarity, and a focus on outcomes to everything you touch. You are comfortable working in both project-based and iterative environments, adapting your approach to what each team and initiative needs — whether that’s a defined project plan, a prioritized set of program objectives, or helping a product team drive toward measurable results. You build strong partnerships, manage complexity with confidence, and keep stakeholders aligned and moving forward.
This role is part of a growing CAG Dx BU PMO with a strong delivery track record and an expanding mission, offering real opportunity to develop and grow alongside the team.
In This Role…
You will drive Delivery Across Projects and Product Team Initiatives
- Lead and manage multiple initiatives or projects, or provide support to multiple cross-functional teams simultaneously — balancing discrete projects with ongoing support for CAG Dx product teams.
- Develop and maintain clear plans, priorities, and outcome definitions across workstreams; keep teams focused on delivering measurable business value, not just completing tasks.
- Manage scope, schedule, risks, dependencies, and change across initiatives; escalate and resolve issues proactively.
- Support CAG Dx product management teams — including software product teams — with the structure, coordination, and execution discipline needed to deliver on their priorities.
- Adapt your approach fluidly — applying formal project management discipline where it adds value, and operating in a more iterative, outcome-focused mode when needed.
You will Engage and Align Stakeholders
- Build strong partnerships across product management, business, IT and R&D delivery teams, and other cross-functional teams; serve as a trusted partner who brings clarity and drives decisions.
- Lead project and program meetings, communications, and reviews — ensuring clear ownership, follow-through, and alignment across stakeholders.
- Anticipate competing priorities and stakeholder needs; manage expectations proactively and navigate ambiguity with confidence.
You will manage Requirements, Scope, and Change
- Coordinate requirements gathering, documentation, and management across the initiative lifecycle.
- Identify, manage, and control scope changes using established change control processes; obtain approvals as required.
- Maintain clear outcome definitions and success metrics across initiatives; track progress against outcomes as well as milestones.
You will contribute to Team and Portfolio Success
- Work across the CAG Dx BU PMO portfolio with flexibility — contributing to reference lab, enterprise, and product team initiatives as capacity and priorities allow.
- Contribute to PMO continuous improvement, sharing insights and identifying opportunities to strengthen how the team delivers.
- Build capability within project teams through coaching, clear communication, and a consistent focus on accountability and outcomes.
