Fractional Project Manager (Part-Time Consultant)
About the OpportunityVoyage Advisory is seeking an experienced Fractional Project Manager to support a large enterprise client undergoing a significant organizational transformation initiative. This is a part-time consulting engagement for a highly accountable, self-directed project leader who can quickly assess project health, establish structure, drive execution, and help bring a challenged project back on track.

This role will work closely with senior leadership, Human Resources, talented Organizational Change Management (OCM) professionals, and external consulting partners to support employee training and change adoption initiatives impacting hundreds of employees. While this position is not responsible for developing change management strategy, the Project Manager must understand OCM principles and be able to effectively coordinate and execute OCM-related workstreams.

- 8+ years of Project or Program Management experience.
- Demonstrated experience managing projects within large enterprise organizations (1,000+ employees).

- Proactively identifies and resolves risks before they become major issues.
- Successfully coordinates complex transformation and training initiatives across multiple stakeholder groups.
- Helps bring challenged projects back on track while improving overall execution discipline.
