The Project Manager is responsible for leading the execution of cross-functional projects within the Digital and Technology PMO, ensuring successful delivery through a structured phase-gate approach. This role involves developing detailed project plans to ensure projects are completed on time, within scope, and within budget. Acting as the champion of the project management process, the Project Manager will lead project teams and stakeholders to achieve each project's objectives.

This position requires strong facilitation and collaboration skills to coordinate with diverse cross-functional groups in defining and delivering solutions. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in managing traditional project management frameworks, particularly for digital technology implementations. Strong skills in scheduling, communication, risk management, and documentation are essential.

While experience with Agile methodologies and a servant-leader mindset is a plus, the primary focus of this role is on traditional waterfall project management. Knowledge of the Scrum framework is beneficial for projects with less-defined requirements. A background in managing merger and acquisition (M&A) technology integrations is preferred.

This role is remote, and preference will be made for candidates located in Cleveland, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
