The selected candidate will own project delivery from planning through implementation while working directly with stakeholders to gather requirements, evaluate processes, and translate business needs into actionable technology solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead enterprise IT projects from initiation through implementation and closure.
• Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, resources, risks, and deliverables.
• Create and maintain project plans, risk and issue logs, executive dashboards, and status reports.
• Coordinate business stakeholders, technical teams, vendors, and other project resources.
• Lead stakeholder interviews and workshops to gather and document business and functional requirements.
• Map current and future business processes, workflows, and data flows.
• Recommend process improvements that support operational efficiency and business goals.
• Support procurement activities, vendor oversight, and project governance.
• Coordinate user acceptance testing, change management, implementation readiness, and post-launch support.
• Present project progress, risks, and recommendations to executive leadership.

Required Qualifications

• At least 7 years of project management experience leading moderately to highly complex initiatives.
• At least 5 years of experience managing IT, regulatory, compliance, or enterprise-level projects.
• Demonstrated experience in business analysis, requirements gathering, and business process redesign.
• Experience managing project schedules, budgets, resources, risks, and deliverables.
• Strong project documentation skills, including requirements, project plans, status reports, and risk and issue logs.
• Ability to work effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders, vendors, and executive leadership.
• Strong communication, organization, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Current South Carolina residency and availability to work onsite in Columbia during onboarding.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP, PMI-ACP, or comparable project management certification.
• Strong resource planning and schedule management experience.

• One virtual interview.
