About This Role
The Senior Operations Project Manager will be working directly with our client to support and optimize global cross-team workflows for the Energy and Power team. You’ll be responsible for preparing meeting materials and agendas, as well as providing meeting recaps and information appropriate for relevant stakeholders. The role demands an excellent communicator who is just as comfortable leading a meeting as they are taking notes. You should always be thinking a step (or two) ahead in every project. You should know how to bring people of all levels together to get deliverables finished on time, on budget, and properly documented so all stakeholders can access. An interest in the energy sector is a must for this role - but prior experience is not required.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Supporting execution and management of various projects (e.g., OKR updates, process improvements)
- Independent management of projects, timelines, deliverables and budgets
- Day-to-day communication with internal and external stakeholders, understanding their needs and overall goals. Including facilitating internal team meetings and workshops
- Develop timelines and project plans and tracking progress against key milestones to align with the larger organization’s due dates
- Preparing internal project reports and presentations
- Managing project documentation and ensuring information flow across teams
- Miscellaneous administrative tasks (team event planning and expenses)

Operations Project Manager Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a operations project manager in New York?
Most operations project manager roles in New York require a bachelor's degree in business, operations, or a related field, followed by relevant work experience in project coordination or operations. New York does not issue a state license for this role, but the Project Management Professional certification from the Project Management Institute carries significant weight with New York employers. Many candidates start in analyst, coordinator, or operations associate roles before moving into project management.
How much do operations project managers make in New York?
Operations project managers in New York earn a median of about $121,040 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,580 for the lowest 10% to over $192,160 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire operations project managers in New York?
Employers hiring operations project managers in New York right now include Amazon, DoorDash, and CVS Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's concentration of financial institutions, hospital systems, and technology firms means demand is broad and consistent throughout the year.
Which New York cities have the most operations project manager jobs?
New York, Brooklyn, and Rochester have the most operations project manager openings in New York. New York City dominates due to its dense concentration of financial services headquarters, major hospital networks, and enterprise technology firms, while Buffalo and Albany generate steady demand through healthcare systems, state government operations, and regional logistics and manufacturing employers.
Are there remote operations project manager jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than many fields. About 23% of operations project manager openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the desk-based and coordination-heavy nature of the role. Project work that centers on stakeholder communication, reporting, and workflow management tends to be the most remote-friendly, while roles tied to physical facilities or supply chain floor operations typically require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a operations project manager in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a project coordinator or operations analyst, roles that large New York employers like Citi, NYC Health and Hospitals, and Con Edison regularly post for candidates without deep project management backgrounds. Earning a CAPM certification from the Project Management Institute strengthens an application at this stage. Candidates who can demonstrate experience managing a process, tracking deliverables, or supporting a team initiative, even through internships or volunteer work, are well-positioned for these openings.
