- Build and maintain comprehensive launch plans, timelines, dependency trackers, and readiness plans.
- Run launch governance, including regular cross-functional syncs, executive updates, readiness reviews, and risk mitigation discussions.
- Identify risks, dependencies, and gaps, and proactively drive resolution to keep launches on track.
- Drive end-to-end readiness across all channels and regions, ensuring consistent execution while allowing for regional flexibility.
- Define and track KPIs for product launches and strategic initiatives.
- Build and deliver performance reporting using tools such as Marketo, Tableau, and Salesforce.
- Analyze launch performance across segments, regions, campaigns, and pipeline contribution.
- Provide actionable insights to Product Marketing and Solutions Marketing leads on segment performance, geographic trends, initiative effectiveness, pipeline contribution, and conversion trends.
- Partner with Field Marketing to evaluate regional performance against targets and optimize future execution.
- Lead post-launch and post-initiative retrospectives to identify opportunities to improve launch processes, cross-functional alignment, regional activation, and measurement frameworks.
- Build scalable best practices for repeatable, high-impact launches and strategic initiative rollouts.
Qualifications
- 7–12 years of experience in product marketing, program management, launch management, go-to-market operations, or related GTM leadership roles.
- Experience managing both product launches and cross-functional business initiatives or transformations.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Project Manager Jobs at Appian Jobs
Frame your PM credentials around enterprise software delivery
Appian's Project Manager roles center on low-code platform implementations and client-facing delivery. Certifications like PMP or PRINCE2 matter less than demonstrated experience managing technical rollouts, stakeholder alignment, and cross-functional software teams in enterprise environments.
Target roles aligned with Appian's government and commercial verticals
Appian recruits Project Managers heavily for its public sector and financial services clients. Roles tied to these verticals tend to have clearer sponsorship precedent and more structured hiring pipelines than generalist PM openings, which narrows your targeting effort meaningfully.
Negotiate your offer timeline around H-1B cap deadlines
If you need H-1B sponsorship, USCIS's April 1 filing window is fixed. When negotiating your start date, make sure your offer is extended early enough for Appian's immigration counsel to prepare the petition before the registration period closes in March.
Use Migrate Mate to identify open Project Manager roles at Appian
Filter by visa type and role on Migrate Mate to surface Appian's current Project Manager openings that align with your sponsorship category. This cuts the time spent manually screening job boards for positions that actually fit your work authorization situation.
Understand how PERM timing affects your long-term plans
For EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card sponsorship, Appian must complete a PERM labor certification with DOL before filing the immigrant petition. That process typically takes 12 to 18 months before USCIS even receives the I-140, so factor that into any multi-year career planning at the company.

Find Project Manager at Appian JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Appian sponsor H-1B visas for Project Managers?
Yes, Appian sponsors H-1B visas for Project Manager roles. As an established technology company with a dedicated immigration process, Appian works with outside immigration counsel to prepare and file H-1B petitions for qualifying candidates. If you're currently on OPT or another status, it's worth raising sponsorship expectations during the offer stage to confirm the role is H-1B eligible before accepting.
How do I apply for Project Manager jobs at Appian?
You can find and apply for Project Manager openings at Appian through their careers site or through Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm eligibility before applying. Applications typically require a resume, and roles at the senior level often involve a multi-round interview process covering behavioral, situational, and technical delivery scenarios specific to Appian's platform and client model.
Which visa types does Appian commonly use for Project Manager roles?
Appian sponsors H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, and F-1 CPT visas for Project Manager positions, and supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways for longer-tenured employees. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying professional categories. The right visa type depends on your nationality, educational background, and how long you've been in the U.S., so confirm the appropriate category with Appian's HR team early in the process.
What qualifications does Appian look for in Project Manager candidates?
Appian's Project Manager roles typically require a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as business, information systems, or computer science, along with demonstrated experience managing software implementation or IT delivery projects. Familiarity with agile methodologies, client-facing communication in enterprise environments, and cross-functional stakeholder management are consistent expectations across the role family. Public sector or financial services experience is an advantage given Appian's core client verticals.
How do I navigate the visa sponsorship process once I receive an offer from Appian?
Once Appian extends an offer, their immigration counsel will guide the petition preparation, but you'll need to move quickly if you're targeting an H-1B cap-subject filing. USCIS opens H-1B registration in March, with an April 1 filing window, so offers should be in place well before then. For OPT candidates, ensure your EAD expiration and any STEM OPT extension timeline are shared with HR at the outset to avoid gaps in work authorization.
