Description

We are seeking a Project Manager with a strong blend of expertise in both Agile (for tech) and Waterfall (for vendors) to oversee and drive cross-functional IT initiatives. In this role, you will manage end-to-end project lifecycles, ensuring the successful delivery of critical strategic objectives and mergers/acquisitions. This opportunity is perfect for a results-oriented leader who thrives in dynamic environments and is committed to streamlining processes and achieving organizational goals. Please note: If you have a heavier focus on Scrum/Agile and limited experience with Waterfall/Traditional project management approaches, this may not be the right fit—balanced experience across both is essential as you will work with vendors and technology.
