  • Manage budgets, schedules, and resource allocation across concurrent initiatives, proactively flagging scope, cost, or timeline risks to leadership.
  • Maintain accurate project status, risk, and financial data in Smartsheet or equivalent PPM tools to support portfolio-level reporting and governance.
  • Collaborate across cross-functional teams—engineering, QA, infrastructure, DevOps, security, and vendors—to deliver integrated, high-quality solutions.
  • Serve as the primary liaison between technical teams and business stakeholders, communicating status, risks, and decisions clearly and proactively.
  • Identify, track, and mitigate delivery risks and issues, ensuring adherence to compliance, security, and quality standards.
  • Prepare clear, executive-ready status updates, dashboards, and materials for leadership and steering committee reviews.
  • Manage vendor and contract resource performance to ensure deliverables meet scope, schedule, and quality commitments.
  • Act as an advocate for the PMO across the organization, championing consistent project management practices, standards, and governance across teams and business units.
  • Continuously refine delivery frameworks, tools, and workflows—including AI-enabled solutions—to improve consistency and outcomes across the PM team.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Advanced degree a plus).

Required Skills

  • 10–15 years experience in project/delivery management, with a proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional technology projects.
