What You’ll Do
You will lead IT and data delivery projects from kickoff through closeout, keeping scope, schedule, budget, and stakeholders aligned the entire way.
- Own the full project lifecycle for one or more IT/data initiatives — planning, execution, monitoring, and closeout — including charter, schedule, budget, and risk register.
- Build and maintain detailed project plans with clear milestones, dependencies, and critical path, and keep them current as reality shifts.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for client stakeholders, running status meetings, steering committee updates, and executive briefings.
- Translate technical work — data pipelines, integrations, migrations, reporting builds — into plain language for non-technical stakeholders, and translate business needs back into requirements the team can act on.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams including data engineers, analysts, architects, QA, and business subject matter experts.
- Identify, log, and actively manage risks and issues, escalating early with a recommended path forward rather than just a problem statement.
- Manage scope and change control, documenting requests, assessing impact, and securing approvals before work begins.
- Track budget, burn rate, and resource allocation, and flag variances before they become surprises.
- Facilitate agile ceremonies or hybrid delivery rituals — sprint planning, standups, retrospectives — and adapt the approach to what the client environment can actually sustain.
- Produce clear, consistent project documentation and status reporting that a stakeholder can pick up cold and understand.
