    Description :

    The State of Michigans SUITE Investment Management Team is seeking a seasoned professional with direct experience establishing Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services in a complex, enterprise-level environment. This role is not intended for individuals who have performed validation and verification as a secondary responsibility within project management. Instead, the ideal candidate will have demonstrated leadership in the end-to-end development of IV&V functions – from initial design and implementation to operationalization and continuous improvement – preferably within a large public-sector or similarly scaled organizational context.

     

    As the SUITE team advances its approach to IT investment governance and oversight, strengthening IV&V capabilities is a strategic priority. This position will play a key role in shaping the structure, scalability, and integration of IV&V practices across the project portfolio. A combination of strategic vision, operational insight, and stakeholder engagement experience is essential to successfully institutionalize IV&V as a sustainable, value-driven function within the States project delivery ecosystem.

    BACKGROUND

    The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) administers the IT Investment Fund (ITIF), a legislative appropriation that provides funding for critical IT modernization, cybersecurity, innovation, and infrastructure projects across State of Michigan agencies.

     

    Given the scope, visibility, and complexity of these initiatives, DTMB requires strong portfolio oversight and independent assurance activities to ensure successful project delivery.

     

    Within DTMB, the Enterprise Portfolio Management Office (EPMO) operates the State Unified Information Technology Environment (SUITE), which provides standards, methodologies, and governance support across Project Management, Systems Engineering, and Investment Management practices.

     

    As part of this structure, the Investment Management program within the SUITE team is specifically responsible for administering the ITIF portfolio, overseeing investment governance processes, portfolio-level reporting, and project performance monitoring.

    This staff augmentation resource will be embedded within the SUITE Investment Management team and will play a critical role in:

    Providing Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services for selected ITIF-funded projects.

     

    Assessing project health, risk management, deliverable quality, and compliance with applicable standards.

     

    Identifying risks and opportunities for escalation to the EPMO and DTMB executive leadership.

     

    Supporting proactive oversight and risk mitigation efforts at both the project and portfolio levels.

     

    While the primary focus will be on ITIF-funded initiatives, the resource may also provide IV&V services to other high-visibility, politically sensitive, or complex non-ITIF projects within the DTMB portfolio as capacity and priorities dictate.

     

    The role is designed to strengthen DTMBs ability to deliver transformational projects successfully while maintaining public trust, fiscal responsibility, and operational
