The Planet Group has partnered with a Chicago area company to locate a Project Manager with Microsoft Dynamics Implementation experience for a contract role.

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Project Manager to lead complex, highly integrated technology initiatives with a strong focus on Microsoft Dynamics CRM implementations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, takes ownership of outcomes, and knows how to bring structure, clarity, and momentum to large, cross‑functional programs.

You’ll partner closely with business and technology leaders, drive delivery across multiple workstreams, and play a hands‑on role in keeping projects on track—even when challenges arise.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end‑to‑end delivery of enterprise technology initiatives, including complex Dynamics CRM implementations.
• Define and maintain clear project scope, timelines, goals, and success metrics.
• Own RAID management (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies, and decisions), proactively addressing challenges before they impact delivery.
• Partner with business leaders to manage project resources, budgets, and capacity planning.
• Track milestones, schedules, and deliverables using modern project management tools and dashboards.
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for internal teams, vendors, and executive stakeholders.
• Translate complex technical requirements into actionable, business‑friendly plans.
• Drive project communications across all levels, ensuring transparency around progress, changes, and risks.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, status reporting, and action tracking.
• Collaborate with peer project managers to align priorities, share best practices, and elevate issues effectively.
• Step in to stabilize and recover at‑risk projects, applying proven recovery and delivery techniques.

What You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in IT Project Management, with hands‑on leadership of Microsoft Dynamics CRM implementations.
• Direct experience with Dynamics Marketing / Customer Insights Journey modules.
• Strong working knowledge of Agile methodologies, Azure DevOps (ADO), and hybrid delivery models.
• Proven ability to bridge the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders.
• Experience leading cross‑functional teams with multiple dependencies and competing priorities.
• Demonstrated success delivering projects in consulting or client‑facing environments.
• A track record of turning around challenged or high‑risk initiatives.
• Solid financial acumen, including budget tracking and resource forecasting.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow‑through.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Understanding of data privacy and security standards, particularly within healthcare or regulated environments.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a broader delivery organization.
