Working within the IT department at our corporate headquarters in St. Petersburg, FL, the IT Project Manager owns two things: delivering projects that trace to real business objectives, and serving as the front door for technology requests from business functions that do not have a dedicated IT relationship owner (Legal, Business Development, Marketing, Executive, and others). If you can turn \"we need an app for this\" into a scoped problem statement, then drive the resulting work to completion, this role is for you.**position details/responsibilities...*** Own outcomes, roadmap, dependencies, and budgeted hours for assigned projects across executive-sponsored and business-driven initiatives.* Plan and track all work in Jira as the single source of truth for status, dates, and blockers. Keep Confluence program pages and release notes current.* Participate in quarterly planning with the CTO, Program Managers, and Tech Leads; run mid-quarter reassessments and contribute to the monthly health check.* Manage priority and scope within your projects. Escalate cross-team conflicts and strategic scope changes to the CTO with a clear impact assessment.* Plan around shared specialists allocated to other initiatives. Resequence and communicate rather than negotiate for resources one-on-one.* Serve as intake owner for technology requests from business functions without a domain lane, whether they arrive directly or are routed through a service ticket. Lead the discovery conversation: identify the real problem behind the requested solution, check whether the existing portfolio already solves it, define scope, and flag integration and data-sensitivity concerns.* Produce a routable requirement and coordinate point evaluations from security, integration, infrastructure, and build-vs-buy owners. Bring a recommendation back to the requester and leadership.* Give requesters a clear answer: scheduled, not now, buy instead of build, or manual for now.**here's what we're looking for...*** 3 or more years of IT project management experience delivering business applications or technology initiatives end to end. Experience with demand intake, business analysis, or requirements discovery is strongly preferred.* Working knowledge of project management fundamentals: scope, schedule, dependencies, risk, and stakeholder communication. Experience with Kanban and quarterly planning is a plus; no framework certification required.* Hands-on proficiency with Jira and Confluence, including boards, dashboards, and structured fields. Jira Service Management (JSM) experience is a plus.* Ability to push back constructively: say \"no\" or \"not now\" to a business stakeholder, explain why, and preserve the relationship.* Comfortable operating with narrow decision rights and wide input. Knows when to decide and when to escalate.* Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate across all levels, from field teams to the executive team.* Ability to work independently and manage multiple concurrent initiatives in a fast-paced environment with firm commitments.* Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite and able to quickly become proficient with the applications, software, and hardware used in the organization and industry.* Demonstrate and uphold all of Power Design's core values, which include integrity, accountability, teamwork, innovation, and growth.At Power Design, we are committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants and teammates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, physical and mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, military and veteran status, and any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
