Apply for this job

Be Part Of A Dynamic Team

Join a growing organization strengthening how technology initiatives are planned, governed, and delivered across the enterprise. The technology organization is building a more structured Project Management Office designed to improve project visibility, accountability, prioritization, and execution while maintaining the flexibility required in a fast-moving environment.

This Project Manager will join a small, collaborative PMO and initially support a major enterprise systems initiative before taking ownership of additional technology integrations and high-priority projects. The environment is well suited to a practical project leader who communicates openly, surfaces risks early, and keeps teams focused on measurable business outcomes.

What's In Store For You

  • Remote opportunity for candidates residing in an approved U.S. hiring state.
  • Contract-to-hire opportunity with the intention of building a long-term internal PMO team.
  • Join a newly developing PMO with an opportunity to help establish effective delivery practices.
  • Work across enterprise technology initiatives without being restricted to one application or technical specialty.
  • Gain exposure to high-priority systems migrations, integrations, and business transformation initiatives.
  • Partner directly with business leaders, IT teams, vendors, and executive stakeholders.

How You Will Make An Impact

  • Independently manage multiple IT and enterprise projects from initiation through delivery.
  • Initially support a major HR technology migration and integration initiative before assuming ownership of subsequent project phases and system integrations.
  • Build and maintain project schedules, milestones, RAID logs, status reporting, stakeholder communications, and delivery documentation.
  • Facilitate planning sessions, project meetings, stakeholder discussions, and delivery reviews.
  • Identify risks, delays, dependencies, and resource constraints early rather than waiting until project deadlines are threatened.
  • Provide clear and transparent project reporting to both delivery teams and senior stakeholders.
  • Hold teams accountable for milestones while maintaining a collaborative working environment.
  • Challenge unrealistic timelines or assumptions constructively when project conditions require it.
  • Apply Agile/Scrum practices where appropriate while remaining flexible enough to support Waterfall or Hybrid delivery.
  • Coordinate business stakeholders, technology teams, vendors, and implementation partners.
  • Support the continued development of consistent PMO governance, reporting, and project-delivery practices.
  • Transition over time into additional high-priority technology and business initiatives across the enterprise.

Are you an experienced IT Project Manager ready to make an impact?

  • Bring approximately 3–6 years of hands-on IT or enterprise technology project management experience.
  • Demonstrate successful ownership of technology implementations, integrations, migrations, software projects, digital transformation, or comparable enterprise initiatives.
  • Have experience taking projects from planning through execution and delivery.
  • Show strong judgment around project risks, dependencies, escalation, and milestone management.
  • Communicate effectively with both senior leadership and hands-on delivery teams.
  • Be comfortable providing transparent updates when projects are at risk or off track.
  • Have experience working within Agile/Scrum environments, along with familiarity with Waterfall or Hybrid delivery.
  • Be capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously with limited oversight.
  • Bring experience with project-management tools such as Smartsheet, Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, ClickUp, Planner, monday.com, or comparable platforms.
  • Demonstrate a collaborative but confident communication style and the ability to push back professionally when necessary.
  • Vendor-management or organizational change-management experience is beneficial.
  • Scrum Master, PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, or related project-management certification is preferred but not required.
  • Deep expertise in HRIS or any other specific enterprise application is not required.
