Join a growing organization strengthening how technology initiatives are planned, governed, and delivered across the enterprise. The technology organization is building a more structured Project Management Office designed to improve project visibility, accountability, prioritization, and execution while maintaining the flexibility required in a fast-moving environment.
This Project Manager will join a small, collaborative PMO and initially support a major enterprise systems initiative before taking ownership of additional technology integrations and high-priority projects. The environment is well suited to a practical project leader who communicates openly, surfaces risks early, and keeps teams focused on measurable business outcomes.

Build and maintain project schedules, milestones, RAID logs, status reporting, stakeholder communications, and delivery documentation.
