Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States American Association for Cancer Research Full time
Job Summary

A Technical Projects Manager plays a pivotal role in overseeing Information Technology projects undertaken by the Enterprise Platform Services and Data Management team (EPS&DM). The role involves establishing project management methodologies and approaches tailored to organizational needs and aligned with Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) best practices.

The Technical Projects Manager's responsibilities encompass educating and aligning project team members with the chosen methodology and facilitating its execution, whether working with internal AACR team members or external third-party collaborators.

This role facilitates the breakdown of high-level needs and requirements into detailed, actionable items, ensuring that these items contain accurate and comprehensive information to achieve the desired outcomes.

The Technical Projects Manager oversees tasks carried out by third parties, including estimating, tracking, and comparing actual work and costs to estimates to ensure compliance with contracts and agreements.

A deep understanding of the tech stacks utilized at AACR is essential, as high-level requests may necessitate changes across multiple systems.

While prior experience with the tech stack tools is preferred, adaptability to evolving technologies and systems is expected, with training provided as needed.

The role entails conducting meetings directly with project team members to facilitate project work, including periodic discussions such as daily 'stand-up meetings' to review tasks, address pressing needs, prioritize, and identify and mitigate potential blockers.

This role also encompasses higher-level meetings like 'sprint planning' and 'sprint review sessions' to assess overall progress and priorities.

Project Management emphasizes the efficient coordination of tasks, processes, and resources to attain project objectives, with a primary focus on managing these elements rather than individual personnel.

Effective leadership and communication are essential, but the core of Project Management centers around organizing, planning, and executing tasks to ensure successful project outcomes.

The Technical Projects Manager acts as a catalyst for the team, primarily addressing the administrative aspects of Project Management to enable others to focus on specific tasks.

Responsibilities
  • Define, implement, and facilitate the execution of the Enterprise Platform Services and Data Management (EPS&DM) team's project management methodology based on industry best practices and the AACR's specific needs
  • Train/coach teammates and third parties on the methodology and related operations as needed
  • Oversee the administration of Jira to facilitate the methodology including configuration, workflow, and user management
  • Aid in the transition of high-level requests/requirements into actionable items in Jira, working with platform managers, internal stakeholders, and external third parties as needed
  • Collaborate in the assignment of resources to tasks based on needs/prioritization
  • Monitor and report on individual contributors to proactively identify and prevent overburdening
  • Communicate statuses to EPS&DM team and other stakeholders as necessary
  • Facilitate best SDLC practices related to backing up code repositories and the proper promotion of items across environments (i.e. Dev to Test to Prod), ensuring that all deployed items are properly tested before release
  • Aid in the identification and associated tasks related to creating/updating Life of the Project and Life of the System documents as per SDLC
  • Ensure assigned project activities are performed in alignment with project timelines and budget
Requirements
  • Certified knowledge of at least one Project Management methodology is required - more are preferred (e.g. Scrum Master Certification, Project Management Professional Certification, etc.)
  • Ability to extrapolate from unclear stakeholder descriptions and/or limited information to produce requirements that can be verified with stakeholders to confirm their needs/asks
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills in English is required
  • Effective problem solving and troubleshooting ability required
  • High attention to detail is required
  • Ability to organize work, prioritize tasks and meet deadlines required
  • Ability to work with resources to complete tasks that are not direct reports is required
  • Ability to think critically
  • Ability to analyze data, communicate with stakeholders, and develop recommendations for solving problems while exhibiting realistic understanding of solutions
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and time management skills
  • Ability to facilitate/lead discussions
  • A desire to do good in the world by helping support our members and our organization in the mission to ultimately cure cancers
Qualifications
  • At least two years of recent Project Management experience in IT is required
  • At least two years of Business Analyst experience is required
  • At least two years of recent experience in one of the following is required (more preferred)
  • Salesforce Sales Cloud
  • Master Data Management (e.g. Boomi MDM, Reltio, Informatica, etc.)
  • Data Integrations (e.g. Boomi Integrations, Talend, etc.)
  • Data Warehousing (e.g. Snowflake, Azure, AWS, etc.)
