Position: IT Project Manager (Mid-Level)

Role Type: Contract | Work Arrangement: Hybrid — minimum 2 days per week on-site in Phoenix, AZ

Overview

We are seeking a mid-level IT Project Manager to coordinate and drive delivery across a portfolio of 6-8 concurrent technology initiatives spanning AI adoption, intelligent automations, data analytics, application modernization, and cloud infrastructure. This is not a single-project PM role — it requires someone who can manage a portfolio view, hold multiple teams accountable, identify risks and communication gaps early, and keep leadership well-informed.

The right candidate is organized, direct, and delivery-oriented. They don't just track tasks — they track outcomes, verify quality, and escalate before problems become crises. We expect this individual to quickly establish a consolidated view of all active initiatives, stand up a regular reporting cadence with both delivery teams and executive stakeholders, and demonstrate tangible impact within the first few months by improving visibility, unblocking stalled work, and bringing structure to a fast-moving portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Portfolio Coordination & Delivery Management

• Maintain a consolidated view of all active initiatives — status, milestones, owners, dependencies, and risks
• Hold internal teams and vendor partners accountable for committed deliverables and timelines
• Identify and manage cross-initiative dependencies and resource conflicts
• Verify that deliverables meet acceptance criteria — not just "done" but "done right"
• Communication & Stakeholder ManagementEstablish and maintain a regular reporting cadence (weekly team updates, biweekly executive summaries)
• Prepare clear, concise portfolio status updates for the Director of Architecture and CIO
• Proactively identify communication gaps between teams, between business and IT, and between onshore and offshore contributors
• Tailor communications to the audience — technical detail for delivery teams, outcome-focused summaries for executives

Risk, Issue & Vendor Management

• Proactively identify delivery risks and escalate early with recommended mitigations
• Track and manage issue resolution across initiatives
• Coordinate with vendor partners on delivery expectations, SOW commitments, and quality standards. A small portion of the automation initiatives involve an offshore vendor team
• Ensure vendor deliveries are aligned with timelines and integrated with internal workstreams

Active Initiative Portfolio

The PM will coordinate across the following initiative areas:

• AI Enablement: Enterprise Microsoft Copilot adoption (M365 Copilot, PowerBI Copilot, Copilot Studio), AI for SDLC (developer tooling and GenAI frameworks)
• Intelligent Automations: Agentic automations with Copilot Studio, Power Platform migration from legacy RPA
• Data & Analytics: Data analytics platform build-out (pipeline modernization, semantic models, self-service reporting)
• Application Modernization: Containerization (ECS migration from EC2-hosted workloads)
• Infrastructure: Cloud infrastructure optimization initiatives
• Management Reporting: Executive dashboards, initiative scorecards, and periodic leadership updates

Must-Have Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Computer Science, or a related discipline
• Experience managing multiple concurrent IT initiatives simultaneously — portfolio-level coordination, not just single-project delivery
• Strong accountability and escalation discipline — comfortable holding people to commitments and raising flags early, even when it's uncomfortable
• Excellent communication skills — can synthesize technical initiative status into clear, actionable executive updates
• Delivery-oriented mindset — tracks outcomes and quality, not just task completion
• Enough IT/software delivery literacy to have credible conversations with technical teams and spot when things don't add up

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with Agile delivery (sprint planning, retrospectives) and hybrid Agile/Waterfall environments
• Familiarity with Jira for project tracking
• Experience coordinating vendor-delivered work (SOW tracking, delivery validation)
• Exposure to any of the initiative domains listed above (AI/ML, data platforms, containerization, cloud infrastructure)
• PowerBI or similar tool experience for building initiative health dashboards

Delivery Model & Tools

• Hybrid Agile/Waterfall — software initiatives run in Agile sprints while infrastructure and platform work follows milestone-based delivery. Primary tools: Jira, Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, PowerPoint). The PM should be comfortable creating dashboards and status reports using available tools.
