Job Title: IT Project Manager – US Distribution / Pricing
Location: Cuyahoga Falls OH (Remote)
Duration: 10 months on contract with possible extension 
Mostly remote with travel to the corporate office approximately once or twice monthly. 

Seeking a mid-level Project Manager to support IT-focused initiatives for the business unit, starting with a new pricing project for US Distribution. This individual will report to the IT PMO and will manage this project end-to-end while also picking up additional IT projects as they arise. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across business and technical stakeholders, has strong command of Jira/Confluence-based project tracking, and can juggle multiple concurrent workstreams without losing sight of deadlines, dependencies, or communication cadence.
Key Responsibilities
• Own end-to-end project management for the US Distribution pricing project: scope, timeline, resourcing, risk, and status reporting.
• Manage additional IT projects concurrently as they are assigned, prioritizing and sequencing work across a shifting portfolio.
• Set up and maintain project boards, workflows, and documentation in Jira/Confluence, consistent with existing AMI IT PMO standards.
• Run regular status meetings and provide clear, structured updates to both IT leadership and business stakeholders, including senior/executive audiences.
• Identify and escalate risks, blockers, and scope changes early; drive resolution with the right stakeholders.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with IT applications, operations, and business teams (US Distribution) to keep projects aligned to business goals.
• Maintain accurate project artifacts: charters, timelines, RAID logs, and status reports.
• Lead prioritization conversations for new IT project requests

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.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with pricing, distribution, or ERP-adjacent business projects.
• Background supporting manufacturing or distribution business units.
• PMP, CAPM, or equivalent PM certification.
• Prior experience in a PMO structure with standardized governance practices.
• 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 portfolio, and the business without losing sight of any one group's needs.
• Courage - surfaces bad news early and directly rather than only logging it; comfortable pausing or escalating activity that feels off, even when it's uncomfortable to raise.
Success Metrics - First 90 Days
• Fully onboarded onto the pricing project with an established project plan, timeline, and Jira board.
• Running regular, structured status updates for both IT leadership and business stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to take on a second concurrent project without disruption to the first.
