Position Summary:
The Manager of the IT Project Management Office (PMO) is responsible for the day-to-day coordination, oversight, and support of project management and business analysis functions across the organization. This role directly supervises the IT Project Manager Supervisor and IT Business Analyst Supervisor, ensuring that project practices are consistent, efficient, and aligned with statewide standards such as those issued by the Kansas Information Technology Office (KITO).
This position plays a key role in improving internal project execution, reinforcing standard operating procedures (SOPs), and helping lay the groundwork for a future Enterprise Project Management Office (ePMO). While this role does not own the strategic vision for the ePMO, it is integral in preparing the team for that transition.

Project Oversight and Intake Coordination
Track and monitor active projects for adherence to timelines, documentation requirements, and status reporting.
Support the facilitation of a project intake process by collecting project requests, organizing supporting materials, and preparing summaries for review by leadership.
Process and Standards Implementation
Assist with the development, documentation, and rollout of project-related standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Promote consistent use of project templates, tools, and tracking mechanisms across all active projects.
Reinforce compliance with KITO reporting and project management guidelines.
Collaboration and Coordination
Coordinate across departments to ensure that project dependencies and business needs are identified and incorporated into planning processes.
Collaborate with the IT Contracts team and vendors as needed to support project execution, without direct oversight responsibilities.
Readiness and Continuous Improvement
Identify trends in project delays or compliance gaps and provide feedback to supervisors and staff for correction or improvement.
Assist with internal communications, guidance, or light training related to project process changes or new documentation expectations.
Contribute to a culture of accountability and learning by sharing lessons learned and encouraging consistency across teams.
