Position Summary

Dhaka Technologies Limited Company is hiring an IT Project Manager on behalf of the client, a state government health and human services agency. The agency is responding to the federal Rural Health Transformation Program, a five-year funding initiative to make care more accessible, higher quality and better tailored to rural communities, and anticipates a series of IT focused missions in support of it. The Project Manager works within the state's Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO), follows its hybrid project lifecycle (Agile practices during implementation), takes direction from the EPMO Portfolio Manager, and manages one or more program projects day to day alongside the state project team, program sponsors, governance committees and implementation vendors. Preference is given to candidates who have managed similar health program or federally funded initiatives and who already work the way a state EPMO expects.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and maintain the project schedule in the EPMO-prescribed tool (activities, dependencies, milestones, start and end dates, resources, percent complete), updated weekly through closeout, and take part in weekly updates to the implementation vendor's master schedule.
  
• Deliver weekly project status reports in the state's project management tool.
  
• Create and maintain risks and issues in the state's tool, recommend responses, and run monthly risk and issue reviews.
  
• Facilitate project meetings, including status, risk and issue review, backlog grooming, release planning and change review; publish agendas 24 hours before and minutes 24 hours after, distributed from the state document repository.
  
• Track project financials and enter actual expenditures in the EPMO tool monthly or as approved changes affect the budget.
  
• Manage change control with the EPMO Portfolio Manager and state governance committees, using the state's Change Request Form, and track changes in the project tool.
  
• Track all deliverables in a deliverable approval matrix and manage the implementation vendor's Deliverable Expectation Documents (DED) and Deliverable Acceptance Forms (DAF).
  
• Maintain the stakeholder register, decision log and action item log; engage program and project sponsors and governance committees on policy decisions, scope, resources, budget and escalated issues.
  
• Facilitate project activities, including the state's procurement process.
  
• Produce the deliverables required by state, agency and federal governance (for example CMS and FNS), following EPMO templates.
  
• Organize and archive project artifacts in the state document repository.
  
• Run lessons learned and produce the project closeout report at the end of each project.
  

Requirements

• Current PMP certification (copy of the certificate is required with the application).
  
• Current HIPAA training certificate, or willingness to complete HIPAA training provided by Dhaka Technologies Limited Company before submission and maintain it for the duration of the engagement.
  
• Experience managing IT implementation projects for state government, preferably for a health and human services, Medicaid or public health agency.
  
• Experience managing an implementation vendor's schedule and deliverables, including deliverable review and acceptance.
  
• Experience with hybrid or Agile delivery, including backlog grooming and release planning.
  
• Three professional references, submitted with the application, from engagements within the last five years who can speak specifically to the candidate's project management work. Applications without three references will not be considered.
  
• Proficiency with Azure DevOps and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Project, Visio) and Adobe PDF.
  
• Strong organization, document repository management, and written and verbal communication.
  
• Available full time, Monday to Friday, 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM Eastern Time.
  
• Located in and authorized to work in the United States; W-2 only (no C2C or 1099).
  
• Must pass a national criminal background check, sign the client's acceptable use and confidentiality terms, work only on client-provided systems, and not use AI meeting assistants in client meetings.
  

Preferred

• Experience with federally funded health programs or grant initiatives (for example CMS, HRSA or rural health programs) and their reporting requirements.
  
• Experience working within a state Enterprise Project Management Office and its templates and governance.
  
• Experience managing several concurrent projects or a program of related projects.
