Senior Business Analyst / IT Project Manager

Role Description

Gabriele Consulting Group is now hiring an early to mid-career Senior Business Analyst / Project Manager to support long-term projects for our clients. This is a great opportunity for someone who has 5 to 7 years of post-graduate experience in business analysis, project management, and/or management consulting.

We are adding a Senior Business Analyst / IT Project Manager (Sr BA/PM) to our small, dynamic team to serve the immediate and future needs for one of our long-standing clients (a large, publicly traded company) and potentially additional clients as we grow.

The trajectory for a successful Sr BA/PM is to grow into a higher level Program Manager role that is responsible for:

• Scoping and managing cross-functional projects
• Conducting robust analyses
• Solving complex challenges
• Delivering high quality results
• Earning the trust of our clients

Examples of the types of projects this position could work on include:

• Project management of a very large unstructured data governance initiative
• Project management of a large-scale migration from prior versions of SAP and JDE ERPs to SAP S/4 HANA
• Program management of the ingestion of data into the company’s Common Data Layer (CDL)

This position offers a high degree of autonomy and a flexible schedule. This role can be done remotely from anywhere in the U.S., although it may be necessary to adapt to the East coast time zone for client meetings.

Success will be measured by how quickly the Sr BA/PM can earn trust and take work off of other Program Managers, and ultimately by the magnitude of successful outcomes we achieve for our clients.

The career trajectory for this role may include ownership of client relationships and growth within GCG or a permanent placement within one of our client companies.
