Job description

Union City, United States | Posted on 08/31/2026

Axiom Path is an AI-first recruiting and staffing firm delivering RPO, MSP, and direct-hire solutions to enterprise clients across the U.S. Our team of experienced recruiters, supported by purpose-built automation, moves faster and communicates better so clients get qualified talent sooner and candidates get a clear, responsive process from first contact to start date.

Job Description

Be Part Of A Dynamic Team

Join a growing organization strengthening how technology initiatives are planned, governed, and delivered across the enterprise. The technology organization is building a more structured Project Management Office designed to improve project visibility, accountability, prioritization, and execution while maintaining the flexibility required in a fast-moving environment.

This Project Manager will join a small, collaborative PMO and initially support a major enterprise systems initiative before taking ownership of additional technology integrations and high-priority projects. The environment is well suited to a practical project leader who communicates openly, surfaces risks early, and keeps teams focused on measurable business outcomes.

What's In Store For You

• Remote opportunity for candidates residing in an approved U.S. hiring state.
  
• Contract-to-hire opportunity with the intention of building a long-term internal PMO team.
  
• Join a newly developing PMO with an opportunity to help establish effective delivery practices.
  
• Work across enterprise technology initiatives without being restricted to one application or technical specialty.
  
• Gain exposure to high-priority systems migrations, integrations, and business transformation initiatives.
  
• Partner directly with business leaders, IT teams, vendors, and executive stakeholders.
  

How You Will Make An Impact

• Independently manage multiple IT and enterprise projects from initiation through delivery.
  
• Initially support a major HR technology migration and integration initiative before assuming ownership of subsequent project phases and system integrations.
  
• Build and maintain project schedules, milestones, RAID logs, status reporting, stakeholder communications, and delivery documentation.
  
• Facilitate planning sessions, project meetings, stakeholder discussions, and delivery reviews.
  
• Identify risks, delays, dependencies, and resource constraints early rather than waiting until project deadlines are threatened.
  
• Provide clear and transparent project reporting to both delivery teams and senior stakeholders.
  
• Hold teams accountable for milestones while maintaining a collaborative working environment.
  
• Challenge unrealistic timelines or assumptions constructively when project conditions require it.
  
• Apply Agile/Scrum practices where appropriate while remaining flexible enough to support Waterfall or Hybrid delivery.
  
• Coordinate business stakeholders, technology teams, vendors, and implementation partners.
  
• Support the continued development of consistent PMO governance, reporting, and project-delivery practices.
  
• Transition over time into additional high-priority technology and business initiatives across the enterprise.
  

Requirements

Are you an experienced IT Project Manager ready to make an impact?

• Bring approximately 3 6 years of hands-on IT or enterprise technology project management experience.
  
• Demonstrate successful ownership of technology implementations, integrations, migrations, software projects, digital transformation, or comparable enterprise initiatives.
  
• Have experience taking projects from planning through execution and delivery.
  
• Show strong judgment around project risks, dependencies, escalation, and milestone management.
  
• Communicate effectively with both senior leadership and hands-on delivery teams.
  
• Be comfortable providing transparent updates when projects are at risk or off track.
  
• Have experience working within Agile/Scrum environments, along with familiarity with Waterfall or Hybrid delivery.
  
• Be capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously with limited oversight.
  
• Bring experience with project-management tools such as Smartsheet, Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, ClickUp, Planner, monday.com, or comparable platforms.
  
• Demonstrate a collaborative but confident communication style and the ability to push back professionally when necessary.
  
• Vendor-management or organizational change-management experience is beneficial.
  
• Scrum Master, PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, or related project-management certification is preferred but not required.
  
• Deep expertise in HRIS or any other specific enterprise application is not required.
