Required Experience

• 12–15+ years of technology project management, IT solution delivery, business systems analysis, and/or program management experience.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone senior, technical, hands-on, and highly independent — someone who understands both how technology projects are delivered and what documentation and controls are required at each stage of the lifecycle.

The ideal candidate can independently drive complex technology initiatives while working effectively across business stakeholders, architects, security teams, technical resources, vendors, and SMEs.

This opportunity is best suited for a Senior Solution Delivery Lead / Technology Project Manager who can move comfortably between technology project leadership, business systems analysis, SDLC governance, Agile delivery, vendor management, testing, implementation, and executive stakeholder management.
