Summary

{"description": " About the Role:

The position blends Project Manager and Scrum Master responsibilities within a Kanban delivery model, focusing on flow, adaptability, and continuous improvement rather than rigid process. You'll use your expertise in leadership, planning, communication, and agile practices to help teams move efficiently and continuously improve.

You'll partner with a collaborative, outcome-driven team to lead work of varying complexity, adapt as scope and business priorities evolve, and build strong, trust-based relationships with stakeholders. This is an ideal opportunity for a Project Manager who thrives in ambiguity, values influence over authority and is motivated by delivering meaningful business impact.

This IT Project Manager role supports our Marketing & Communications and Risk Management teams and is based in our Milwaukee office with a hybrid work environment.

The Impact You'll Make:

Team Leadership and Mentorship:

Lead and mentor team members by fostering collaboration, accountability, and ownership of work

Influence without authority, earning trust and credibility with peers and partners

Apply strong knowledge of agile team dynamics and ceremonies within a Kanban environment

Promote continuous improvement, learning, and team maturity

Work Intake, Planning, and Organizing:

Manage day-to-day Kanban operations, including board hygiene, WIP limits, and daily stand-ups

Partner with Business Analysts and stakeholders to understand backlogs and translate priorities into realistic delivery plans

Lead project efforts with varying levels of complexity and ambiguity, adjusting approach as outcomes evolve

Identify and resolve bottlenecks, dependencies, technical roadblocks, and process inefficiencies

Track and communicate progress using visual metrics and lightweight reporting

Simplify and optimize intake, triage, analysis, and planning processes for business requests, internal improvements, and routine maintenance

Stakeholder Management:

Serve as a primary point of contact for Marketing & Communications and Risk Management partners

Communicate clearly and effectively across all levels of the organization to ensure alignment and transparency

Facilitate meetings with clear agendas, decisions, and outcomes

Partner with stakeholders to deliver solutions in a way that drives value and satisfaction

Navigating Complexity:

Navigate organizational dynamics to escalate issues, drive decisions, and achieve results

Identify, assess, and mitigate risks to support successful delivery

Build and maintain strong relationships across business and technology teams

Leverage cross-team partnerships to resolve dependencies and remove obstacles

Demonstrate organizational awareness by connecting insights, people, and resources to move work forward

Professional Knowledge and Growth:

Participate in the Project Manager Community of Practice (PMCoP)

Develop domain knowledge relevant to aligned delivery teams

Pursue ongoing professional development and share learnings with peers

What You'll Bring to Baird

Five or more years of IT experience, including at least three years in a Project Manager or similar delivery role. Prior financial services industry experience a plus

Strong understanding of project management and agile principles, with hands-on experience in Kanban environments

Experience organizing and analyzing work using Azure DevOps Boards (preferred)

Proven ability to lead through influence, collaboration, and strong communication skills

Excellent organizational, time management, and problem-solving capabilities

Passion for systems thinking, team dynamics, and continuous improvement

Confidence balanced with humility and adaptability

PMP, CSM, or PMI-ACP certification a plus

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, MIS, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field preferred
