IT Technical Project Lead

The IT Technical Project Lead (TPL) leads the end-to-end delivery of technology initiatives by owning scope, schedule, budget, resources, and communications across business and technical teams. This role combines delivery leadership (coordination and oversight) with hands‑on technical leadership (design coordination and review) to ensure initiatives are executed with operational rigor—including change management, release coordination, and service transition to steady‑state support. The project portfolio includes AI‑enabled solutions as a primary focus area, along with Microsoft 365 and cloud services and data governance initiatives. Key Responsibilities (IT Ops / ITIL-aligned) Own end-to-end delivery from intake through closeout: define objectives, scope, success metrics, deliverables, milestones, dependencies, resourcing, and budget/costs. Manage execution cadence: develop and maintain the integrated project plan, facilitate working sessions, document decisions/actions, and drive timely delivery of commitments. Run project governance and controls: maintain visibility through risk/issue tracking (and related assumptions/dependencies), elevate appropriately, and drive mitigation and resolution to closure. Provide technical delivery leadership (light design/review): coordinate technical design, drive solution decisions with IT SME’s, and review implementation plans (designs, runbooks, cutover steps) to ensure operational, security, and support readiness. Lead release, change, and service transition (ITIL-ish): coordinate vendors/partners and cross-functional handoffs, manage CAB‑ready change records/approvals, and execute release/cutover planning (communications, maintenance windows, deployment checklists, and hyper‑support). Types of Projects Supported (Examples) AI‑enabled solutions and automation initiatives (e.g., controlled rollout of enterprise AI tools, AI‑assisted workflow pilots, agentic automation use cases, and governance‑led enablement). Data Governance initiatives (e.g., data security and compliance controls, information protection, approved data‑source governance, analytics/BI enablement such as Power BI reporting, and data access governance). Microsoft technology initiatives (Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Azure, Exchange, collaboration and productivity services). Required Qualifications 3+ years of experience leading or coordinating projects in a corporate IT environment. Strong skills in planning, budgeting, risk management, stakeholder management, and end-to‑end solution delivery.
