Rate: $130.00 to $120.00/hr. w2
Responsibilities:

- Lead working sessions with project managers, scrum engineers, and delivery leads to validate the framework against live projects.

- Define deliverable expectations by role and project type across phase gates.
- Coordinate with the Jira rebuild team to reflect PLC phase gates and workflow standards in Jira.
- Design and stand up a project management function for governance, reporting, and planning consistency across IT delivery.
- Establish standard project intake and status reporting tied to PLC stage gates, including health, milestones, risks, and blockers.
- Build or adapt release planning and dependency management aligned to Scrum and Kanban.
- Develop a resource planning model to flex contractor and SI support based on demand.
- Maintain regular cadence with senior stakeholders and surface issues early.
- Coordinate closely with the Jira rebuild lead to keep tooling and process in sync.
- Interface with the strategic PMO at the defined boundary focused on IT project delivery.
- Support the Delivery Lead in executive status reporting.
Experience Requirements:
- 8+ years in project management, PMO leadership, or delivery governance within an IT delivery organization.
- Proven experience operationalizing an existing project management framework or PMO function.
- Strong working knowledge of SDLC delivery in an Agile hybrid environment.
- Experience developing PM playbooks, onboarding guides, and role-based delivery expectations.
- Ability to drive adoption of a process or framework with a skeptical or resistant audience.
- Experience working across multiple delivery organizations with interdependent teams and shared resources.
- Preferred: Insurance or regulated financial services background.
- Preferred: Experience in post-SAFe transition environments.
- Preferred: Familiarity with Jira and PLC-Jira integration.
- Preferred: Experience with embedded delivery and knowledge transfer to internal teams.
