IT Project Manager - Packaged Software Focus
Chicago, IL - 5 days onsite/week in the loop

Summary:
The IT Project Manager will focus on managing Packaged Software application projects. We do not use a single ERP. But we do employ a lot of 3rd party packaged applications, from various vendors. As such, you could be managing multiple application projects with multiple vendors simultaneously. The software applications could range from HCM, to Accounting software, to CRM, even some data-focused projects.

The projects you'd be managing would touch several thousand end users, that span from the U.S., to Europe, to Asia Pacific. You will also manage projects as small as a 1 month quick feature implementation, to a large vendor/application migration that could take several years.

We have a PMO of about 8 PMs, and we're expanding our team due to the amount of projects we have on the horizon over the coming years.

Over time, you may get an opportunity to work on infrastructure or IT security focused projects as well. But, we're primary looking for PMs who have an applications background.

What you'll be doing
  • Work with other Project Managers, IT team members, stakeholders, vendors and other departments to ensure successful project delivery from project inception through closure.
  • Create various project documents, including project charters, project plans, status reports, project risk assessments and project gating presentations. Work with project team to ensure relevant project documentation is created.
  • Provide project gating presentations to the IT Directors during the various stage gates of their assigned projects.
  • Report on the project pipeline, budget run, risks, issues and mitigation plans for assigned projects.
  • Resolve resource, timing or other conflicts between projects.

Skills we're seeking
  • Must have a Bachelor's Degree OR PMP certification
    • Both would be preferred
  • 4+ years of experience with IT Project Management
  • Must have experience managing packaged application-focused projects
  • Must have experience working in a PMO
  • Must be comfortable and interested in working in a Waterfall environment

Nice to haves
  • Master's Degree
  • Experience with IT Project Management in a professional services industry
  • Experience managing projects that have global reach
  • Experience using PM tools similar to what we use: Smartsheet, Asana, Planview, Microsoft Project, etc.
