Project Manager

IT Project Manager

A client of Insight Global is seeking an IT Project Manager to assume responsibility for the project management of several medium/large projects. These projects will be managed concurrently. This is a contractor position reporting to the ITS Project Management Office (PMO). Currently the PMO team works remotely, but the expectation is that the contractor will need to come into the office for occasional team meetings and projects meetings at county sites as needed.

Essential functions include:

• Serve as the main contact for the project team (facilitate, coordinate, escalate). Provide overall administration, coordination, communication, and decision-making associated with project activities.
• Establish and maintain collaborative working relationships with cross-functional stakeholders, project team members, vendors and functional resources.
• Follow the MCG PMO processes (based on PMBOK framework), organize the project team, facilitate the team to develop achievable work plans, engage Project Sponsor(s), baseline the project plans, monitor and control project execution, and bring projects to successful closure.
• Demonstrate discipline to generate and maintain the documentation for the Project Plans, Project Schedules, Stakeholder Information, Meeting notes, Communications, Project and Business Risks, Project Logs and Project Budgets.
• Update weekly project status with appropriate, accurate level of detail in a timely manner.
• Communicate and/or escalate risks, changes and issues appropriately to obtain decisions and approval of any items encountered that may jeopardize the project schedule and/or budget.
