Job Title: Senior Project Manager – State Government Court Modernization

Employment Type: Contract (W2)

About the Project:

An Enterprise IT Organization is supporting a large-scale court modernization effort for a state government. Unlike centralized court systems, this state operates with independent courts, which presents challenges in standardizing data, processes, and systems across jurisdictions.

This initiative will implement a statewide Case Management System (CMS), an eFiling platform, and a central Integration Hub and Data Repository to enable streamlined operations, data access, and reporting.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with proven experience in legal technology, court systems, and case management implementations. This PM will support projects aligned with court modernization efforts, working closely with enterprise IT teams and court stakeholders.

The ideal candidate will be self-directed, capable of managing multi-stakeholder environments, and experienced in leading projects involving complex political and technical dynamics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the execution of court modernization projects, including CMS, eFiling, and data integration initiatives.
• Coordinate efforts between enterprise IT teams, external vendors, and court stakeholders.
• Support the system selection process and manage vendor relationships.
• Oversee project scope, timelines, risks, and budgets using Planview or similar tools.
• Communicate effectively across decentralized court systems and technical teams.
• Proactively identify risks and escalate as appropriate.
• Ensure alignment with transformation goals and drive forward progress in a politically nuanced environment.

Required Qualifications:

• 8+ years of Project Management experience, with 3+ years focused on legal, court, or justice technology projects.
• Strong background in Case Management Systems and/or eFiling platforms.
• Experience working on government or public sector IT projects.
• Proven track record managing cross-functional teams and complex integrations.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and risk mitigation skills.
• Familiarity with project tracking tools, especially Planview.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with decentralized or multi-jurisdictional court systems.
• Knowledge of court operations, judicial procedures, or legal data systems.
• Background in system integration or public sector data governance initiatives.
• Primarily remote, with potential travel or onsite meetings in Tennessee.
• Independent, proactive work style with strong collaboration skills.
• Core hours aligned with Central Time (CT).

Why This Role Matters:

This role supports a critical statewide transformation effort aimed at modernizing how courts operate, share data, and serve the public. You’ll be at the center of driving change across both enterprise IT teams and judicial stakeholders, shaping the future of justice technology.
