Sr. IT Project Manager

Location: Charlotte, NC (Hybrid - onsite Monday-Thursday)
Employment Type: W2 Contract

Role Overview

We are seeking a IT Project Manager to lead complex, enterprise-scale application deployments, IT transformation initiatives, and service transitions. This role partners closely with enterprise application leaders, business stakeholders, IT Service Management (ITSM) teams, and a centralized PMO to ensure initiatives are delivered on time, within scope, and transitioned into stable operations aligned to business outcomes-not just technical execution.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone comfortable operating in Agile and Waterfall environments, navigating organizational change, and driving accountability across large, cross-functional teams while ensuring post-deployment service readiness and operational stability.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex enterprise IT initiatives from initiation through deployment, stabilization, and service transition
• Partner with enterprise application leaders, IT Service Management teams, and stakeholders to define scope, timelines, budgets, success criteria, and operational readiness
• Drive project planning, prioritization, execution, and governance in alignment with PMO and ITSM standards
• Ensure adherence to Goal Deployment Process (GDP), Project Delivery Process (PDP), and applicable IT Service Management practices
• Manage day-to-day execution across all phases, including:
  • Accelerated Business Readiness (ABR)
  • Testing cycles and defect resolution
  • Deployment, hypercare, and post-implementation stabilization
• Coordinate dependencies across:
  • Enterprise applications
  • Legacy systems and integrations
  • New technology deployments
  • Ongoing IT services and operational support teams
• Partner with ITSM functions (Incident, Change, Release, and Service Delivery) to ensure:
  • Smooth transition from project to operations
  • Change readiness and governance alignment
  • Production stability post-go-live
• Own project and service-readiness governance activities, including:
  • Risk and issue management
  • Resource forecasting and alignment
  • Status reporting and milestone tracking
  • Business readiness and benefit realization
• Facilitate high-level meetings, drive alignment, and resolve delivery or operational conflicts quickly
• Escalate risks and issues appropriately to sponsors, the PMO, and ITSM leadership
• Support audit readiness, compliance activities, and operational documentation

Required Skills & Experience

• 7-10 years of experience as an IT Project Manager in enterprise environments
• Strong experience delivering initiatives within enterprise application and/or IT Service Operations environments
• Proven experience managing large, complex enterprise deployments and service transitions
• Experience working in Agile and Waterfall delivery models
• Hands-on Change Management experience
• Familiarity with PMO governance frameworks (GDP, PDP, or similar)
• Working knowledge of IT Service Management concepts (incident, change, release, service readiness)
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders at all organizational levels
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills

Nice to Have

• Experience partnering with ITSM tools such as ServiceNow, Remedy, or Jira Service Management
• Experience supporting post-go-live stabilization and production readiness
• in large enterprise or regulated environments
