The State of Michigan s SUITE Investment Management Team is seeking a seasoned professional with direct experience establishing Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services in a complex, enterprise-level environment. This role is not intended for individuals who have performed validation and verification as a secondary responsibility within project management. Instead, the ideal candidate will have demonstrated leadership in the end-to-end development of IV&V functions from initial design and implementation to operationalization and continuous improvement preferably within a large public-sector or similarly scaled organizational context.
As the SUITE team advances its approach to IT investment governance and oversight, strengthening IV&V capabilities is a strategic priority. This position will play a key role in shaping the structure, scalability, and integration of IV&V practices across the project portfolio. A combination of strategic vision, operational insight, and stakeholder engagement experience is essential to successfully institutionalize IV&V as a sustainable, value-driven function within the State s project delivery ecosystem.
Top Skills & Years of Experience:
- 5+ years of IT project management experience, preferably supporting large, complex technology initiatives.
- 5+ years providing Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) or equivalent quality assurance services.
- Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Project Management, or a related field required.
Preferred Skills:
- Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
- Certifications such as Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) or Certified Quality Auditor (CQA).
Will close submissions on: 7/16 at 10:00 am EST.
Please see the attached Pre-Screening Questions and have your candidate complete these. Make sure to remember to attach the answers to your bid when responding to this posting!
