@brunofarias
Senior Project Manager and Business Analyst delivering compliant, cross-border platforms and €1M+ projects.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Project Manager / Senior Business Analyst with 10+ years delivering complex, multinational initiatives across B2C and B2B environments. I combine project governance, change management, and business analysis to turn stakeholder alignment into measurable execution outcomes.
I managed a €1M+ gas distribution infrastructure replacement in Belgium, taking ownership mid-implementation and driving delivery to a successful completion on a revised timeline. I led cross-functional teams and applied structured change management to reduce requirement changes by 80% and keep post-implementation defects 45% below company average.
Across platforms supporting 1.3M+ consumers and 24,000+ business clients, I improved SDLC execution through clear process documentation and stakeholder engagement. From multinational ETL & reporting across 10+ countries to KYC regulatory compliance delivery, I aligned requirements with enterprise priorities and validated user stories across the full lifecycle.
Earlier, I advanced from Business Analyst to Project Manager at Sonae Sierra, leading SAP Purchase-to-Pay ERP implementations across five countries and driving automation via OCR (92% accuracy). I’m energised by work that demands rigorous governance, fast stakeholder feedback loops, and delivery that holds up in regulated, real-world environments.
