+ Provide thought leadership in project management and champion best practices

+ Influence outcomes through strong leadership and communication

What We’re Looking For:

+ 7+ years of experience managing complex IT projects across large enterprise environments

+ Proven ability to deliver projects end-to-end: scoping, scheduling, leading, and closing

+ Experience in application-heavy environments (MS Dynamics, OpenText, Cognos, Hyperion, IBM apps, Timekeeping/Attendance systems, etc.)

+ Familiarity with supporting, maintaining, and modernizing enterprise applications

+ Deep understanding of project management tools, frameworks, and governance (RAIDD, etc.)

+ Proven success managing across Waterfall, Agile, and Hybrid methodologies

+ Experience working with third-party vendors and leading project issue resolution

+ Strong Organizational Change Management skills, including stakeholder engagement and communication planning

+ Knowledge of PMP principles and fundamentals (PMP certification preferred)
