Overview We are seeking a mid-level IT Project Manager to coordinate and drive delivery across a portfolio of 6-8 concurrent technology initiatives spanning AI adoption, intelligent automations, data analytics, application modernization, and cloud infrastructure. This is not a single-project PM role — it requires someone who can manage a portfolio view, hold multiple teams accountable, identify risks and communication gaps early, and keep leadership well-informed. The right candidate is organized, direct, and delivery-oriented. They don't just track tasks — they track outcomes, verify quality, and escalate before problems become crises. We expect this individual to quickly establish a consolidated view of all active initiatives, stand up a regular reporting cadence with both delivery teams and executive stakeholders, and demonstrate tangible impact within the first few months by improving visibility, unblocking stalled work, and bringing structure to a fast-moving portfolio.

Key Responsibilities: Portfolio Coordination & Delivery Management Maintain a consolidated view of all active initiatives — status, milestones, owners, dependencies, and risks Hold internal teams and vendor partners accountable for committed deliverables and timelines Identify and manage cross-initiative dependencies and resource conflicts Verify that deliverables meet acceptance criteria — not just done but done right

Communication & Stakeholder Management Establish and maintain a regular reporting cadence (weekly team updates, biweekly executive summaries) Prepare clear, concise portfolio status updates for the Director of Architecture and CIO Proactively identify communication gaps between teams, between business and IT, and between onshore and offshore contributors Tailor communications to the audience — technical detail for delivery teams, outcome-focused summaries for executives

Risk, Issue & Vendor Management Proactively identify delivery risks and escalate early with recommended mitigations Track and manage issue resolution across initiatives Coordinate with vendor partners on delivery expectations, SOW commitments, and quality standards. A small portion of the automation initiatives involve an offshore vendor team Ensure vendor deliveries are aligned with timelines and integrated with internal workstreams

Active Initiative Portfolio The PM will coordinate across the following initiative areas: AI Enablement: Enterprise Microsoft Copilot adoption (M365 Copilot, PowerBI Copilot, Copilot Studio), AI for SDLC (developer tooling and GenAI frameworks) Intelligent Automations: Agentic automations with Copilot Studio, Power Platform migration from legacy RPA Data & Analytics: Data analytics platform build-out (pipeline modernization, semantic models, self-service reporting) Application Modernization: Containerization (ECS migration from EC2-hosted workloads) Infrastructure: Cloud infrastructure optimization initiatives Management Reporting: Executive dashboards, initiative scorecards, and periodic leadership updates

Must-Have Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Computer Science, or a related discipline Experience managing multiple concurrent IT initiatives simultaneously — portfolio-level coordination, not just single-project delivery Strong accountability and escalation discipline — comfortable holding people to commitments and raising flags early, even when it's uncomfortable Excellent communication skills — can synthesize technical initiative status into clear, actionable executive updates Delivery-oriented mindset — tracks outcomes and quality, not just task completion Enough IT/software delivery literacy to have credible conversations with technical teams and spot when things don't add up

Nice-to-Have Experience with Agile delivery (sprint planning, retrospectives) and hybrid Agile/Waterfall environments Familiarity with Jira for project tracking Experience coordinating vendor-delivered work (SOW tracking, delivery validation) Exposure to any of the initiative domains listed above (AI/ML, data platforms, containerization, cloud infrastructure) PowerBI or similar tool experience for building initiative health dashboards Delivery Model & Tools Hybrid Agile/Waterfall — software initiatives run in Agile sprints while infrastructure and platform work follow milestone-based delivery. Primary tools: Jira, Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, PowerPoint). The PM should be comfortable creating dashboards and status reports using available tools.
