Day-to-Day:

An employer in the insurance industry is looking for a Sr. IT PM/BA to join their fully remote team. The Sr. IT PM/BA will play a key role within Alliant’s application and project delivery environment, owning initiatives end-to-end across a variety of enterprise business applications. This individual will be responsible for gathering and documenting both business and functional requirements from stakeholders, translating those into clear deliverables such as process flows and and system requirements, and then carrying those projects through full lifecycle execution—including vendor selection, implementation, and final handoff into support. This role requires someone who can independently engage with business teams to elicit requirements, navigate ambiguity, and connect the dots across multiple stakeholders to define the full scope of a project.

On a day-to-day basis, this person will work across initiatives such as standing up new enterprise applications, enhancing existing systems, managing new feature rollouts, ensuring change management is happening in project communications, and handling vendor onboarding. They will be responsible for coordinating vendor evaluations by organizing demos, working through selection processes and vendor compliance. Once a solution is identified, this individual will transition into a project-focused role, partnering with third-party implementers (e.g., Applied Epic, or other external partners) to drive execution.

This role is highly cross-functional and requires close coordination with internal teams such as IT and business stakeholders, as well as external vendors and implementation partners. The ideal candidate will be comfortable operating independently, proactively identifying gaps or missing context and raising them as needed, while also maintaining ownership and accountability through project completion. The position will support a range of initiatives across Alliant’s enterprise application landscape, including ongoing large-scale projects, and requires someone who can manage complexity, bring structure to evolving efforts, and successfully take projects from initial intake through execution and transition into long-term support.
