Job Description:
Required Qualifications:
- 4–7 years of project management experience, ideally within IT or a technology-adjacent function.
- Demonstrated fluency with Jira and Confluence (board setup, workflows, dashboards, reporting) - not just user-level familiarity.
- Proven track record managing multiple concurrent projects with competing priorities and deadlines.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to senior business leaders - clear, direct, and free of vague commitments.
- Comfortable engaging with IT concepts and terminology (systems, integrations, data flows) without needing to be a hands-on engineer.
- Experience building and maintaining project documentation: status reports, RAID logs, timelines, charters.

- Experience with pricing, distribution, or ERP-adjacent business projects.
- Background supporting manufacturing or distribution business units.
- PMP, CAPM, or equivalent PM certification.

- Exposure to legacy/older systems (e.g., AS400) is a plus - comfort navigating antiquated tech stacks alongside modern tools.
Core Competencies:
- Intellectual Curiosity - asks questions, digs into the "why," and leans into learning rather than waiting for direction; comfortable operating in a space that will require ongoing discovery.
- Managing Ambiguity - understands that plans are a best guess, not a guarantee; adapts as new information surfaces and keeps momentum through unexpected obstacles.
- Balancing Stakeholders - juggles competing priorities across IT, the broader AMH portfolio, and the Alside business without losing sight of any one group's needs.

- Running regular, structured status updates for both IT leadership and Alside business stakeholders.
