About the Opportunity

ZipStaff is seeking an IT Project Manager to lead implementation of customer-facing technology solutions at a leading global manufacturer of climate-control and HVAC products.

You will own the project lifecycle from planning through deployment — schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder communication. This is an on-site delivery role in Richardson, TX. Coordinators who have only tracked status, or PMs who have never taken a customer-facing system live, will not be a fit.

What You'll Do

• Lead implementation of customer-facing IT solutions from planning through final deployment.
• Own project lifecycle activities: scope, plan, schedule, resources, and go-live readiness.
• Proactively identify and mitigate project risks and issues.
• Monitor budgets and schedules and keep delivery on time and within budget.
• Provide regular progress updates to stakeholders and leadership.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams through implementation and deployment.
• Drive issue resolution and keep customer-facing delivery moving.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of IT project management experience delivering systems from plan through production deployment.
• Proven experience implementing customer-facing technology solutions (not internal-only tooling).
• Demonstrated ownership of schedule, budget, and risk across the project lifecycle.
• Strong stakeholder communication and status-reporting skills.
• Ability to work 100% on-site in Richardson, TX.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP, CAPM, or equivalent project-management certification.
• Experience in manufacturing, industrial, HVAC, or distribution environments.
• Experience delivering CRM, customer-portal, or other customer-engagement platforms.
