Position Summary

The IT Project Manager will play a critical role in improving execution, scalability, and operational maturity across the IT organization. Reporting directly to the CIO and supported by the Corporate PMO, this role partners closely with business leaders, IT leadership, and external vendors to plan, deliver, and operationalize technology initiatives.

This is a hands-on, problem-solving role suited for an individual with a strong "fixer” mindset—someone who can bring structure where it doesn't yet exist, stabilize delivery, and progressively introduce fit-for-purpose standards, tools, and playbooks without creating bureaucracy.

In practice, this role operates as a delivery leader and internal chief of staff for the CIO, balancing project execution, change management, vendor coordination, and process improvement across IT.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & Responsibilities
Project & Delivery Management :
  • Lead end-to-end planning and delivery of IT initiatives in partnership with business stakeholders, ensuring clarity on scope, priorities, dependencies, risks, and outcomes.
  • Facilitate pragmatic project governance appropriate to the organization's informal project management culture.
  • Coordinate delivery across application , data, infrastructure, and vendor teams where responsibilities span multiple functions.
  • Track milestones, risks, and decisions; proactively remove blockers and escalate issues when required .
  • Produce concise, executive-ready status updates focused on progress, risks, value delivery, and next actions.
Change Management & Solution Enablement
  • Partner with business and IT leaders to ensure solutions are implemented effectively—not just delivered technically.
  • Support solution rollout planning, readiness assessment, adoption activities, and transition to operations.
  • Ensure roles, responsibilities, and process changes are clearly understood and documented as part of delivery.
Process Engineering & Playbook Development
  • Design and document scalable delivery processes, templates, and playbooks to improve IT execution consistency over time.
  • Identify and introduce fit-for-purpose tools for planning, tracking, communication, and delivery governance—balancing rigor with agility.
  • Continuously improve delivery practices based on lessons learned, delivery challenges, and organizational maturity.
Vendor & Partner Management
  • Act as a coordination and control point for IT vendors and implementation partners across active initiatives.
  • Ensure vendor deliverables, timelines, and dependencies are transparent and aligned with internal capacity.
  • Support contract execution, service expectations, and issue resolution in collaboration with IT and procurement leadership.
Audit, Risk, and Governance Support
  • Support internal and external audits related to IT initiatives, delivery controls, and process documentation.
  • Ensure core delivery artifacts, approvals, and decision logs are maintained to an audit-appropriate standard.
  • Help standardize lightweight governance practices that reduce operational risk without slowing delivery.
Cross ‐ Functional Leadership & CIO Enablement
  • Serve as a trusted partner to the CIO, helping translate strategy into executable initiatives.
  • Engage regularly with department leaders (IT, Data, Finance, Operations, Compliance) to align priorities and sequencing.
  • Support capacity planning, intake clarity, and prioritization across the IT portfolio.
Qualifications & Skills
  • Bachelor's degree in information systems, business, or equivalent experience.
  • 5–8+ years of experience in IT project, program, or delivery management in a complex, cross-functional environment.
  • Proven ability to deliver outcomes in organizations with evolving or informal project management standards.
  • Experience launching or facilitating a data governance framework is a plus.
  • Strong experience working directly with senior leaders and executive stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated success in leading initiatives without formal authority.
  • Exceptionally organized with strong follow ‐ through .
  • Proactive problem solver with a "figure it out and fix it” mindset.
