Project Manager
Summary
We are seeking a project-focused leader to oversee the global transition of a company's IT managed services provider from one external vendor to another. This role will coordinate activity across all regions and workstreams, ensuring dependencies, milestones, vendor deliverables, risks, staffing, cost, timing, and overall status are actively managed and clearly reported. This is a project oversight and management role, not a hands-on technical delivery, programming, system configuration, or sprint management position. No PMP or formal project management certification is required.
Requirements
- Experience overseeing large, global IT implementations involving multiple regions, vendors, and stakeholders.
- Direct experience with IT managed services implementation, transition, or provider change initiatives.
- Ability to coordinate approximately 15 simultaneous workstreams including dependencies, milestones, deliverables, risks, and decision points.
- Strong vendor management skills including maintaining schedules, driving accountability, tracking deliverables, and escalating issues.
- Detailed project planning and consistent reporting on cost, timing, staffing, risks, issues, and overall implementation status.
- Ability to remove obstacles, mitigate implementation risks, and bring appropriate stakeholders together for major decisions.
- Demonstrated disciplined use of project or performance management tools and strong documentation practices.
- Ability to work within one hour of the Minneapolis time zone.
Preferred
- Experience supporting IT managed services in a plant-support or manufacturing environment.
- Experience coordinating global implementation activity across complex enterprise environments.
- Familiarity with tools used for project management, performance management, workstream tracking, and executive reporting.
- Experience preparing supplier or candidate submittal summaries that clearly describe implementation scale, geographic scope, vendor coordination, risk mitigation, deliverables, and reporting responsibilities.
