Who this band describes
The project manager archetype here is distinct from product manager — focused on cross-functional delivery, dependency tracking, timeline and budget ownership. Typical: 7+ years, PMP or equivalent credential, comfortable with formal project methodologies (PRINCE2, Agile, hybrid).
Construction, infrastructure, professional services, healthcare-IT and large-enterprise IT anchor the band — domains where formal PM credentials matter. Tech-startup contexts increasingly fold PM duties into product management or engineering management, so pure PM roles there are rarer at this level.
Common employer types at this band: Consultancies, Enterprise IT, Construction, Healthcare, Financial services.
