Job Description:

Senior IT Project Manager – Enterprise Applications & Financial Systems

Bring your IT project leadership experience to a portfolio of high-visibility enterprise initiatives spanning technology modernization, financial and mortgage-related systems, business applications, and organizational transformation.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced IT Project Manager who enjoys managing multiple initiatives, bringing structure to complex projects, partnering with technical and business teams, and leading projects through the full lifecycle—from technology selection and contracting through implementation, migration, and retirement of legacy solutions.

Candidates with experience supporting financial services, mortgage servicing or production, accounting, lending, or other regulated financial environments will be especially well aligned to the current project portfolio.

Location: Columbia, South Carolina /Work Arrangement: Fully onsite Mon-Fri

Role Overview

The Senior IT Project Manager will lead several concurrent enterprise initiatives involving technology selection, acquisition, implementation, migration, process improvement, and legacy application retirement.

The current project portfolio includes technology supporting:

Mortgage servicing and mortgage production

Development and compliance monitoring

Contract administration

Agency business continuity

Organizational and facility planning initiatives

The Project Manager will provide end-to-end leadership across these efforts, partnering with technical teams, business stakeholders, vendors, executives, and project sponsors to keep scope, schedule, budget, resources, risks, and deliverables aligned.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are a seasoned IT Project Manager who can step into complex initiatives and quickly establish structure, accountability, and forward momentum.

You have successfully managed multiple projects simultaneously and can demonstrate hands-on ownership of scope, schedules, budgets, resources, risks, change, executive reporting, and project documentation.

You understand how to determine when Agile, Waterfall, or a hybrid delivery model is most appropriate rather than approaching every project with the same methodology.

The strongest candidates will also bring experience in financial services, mortgage technology, lending, accounting, or another regulated financial environment, along with a strong understanding of process improvement and business operations. Experience leading technology implementations involving mortgage servicing or production platforms would be particularly relevant.

Key Responsibilities

Plan, organize, and lead project-management activities for agency-wide technology initiatives.

Manage multiple projects concurrently from initiation and planning through implementation, migration, transition, and closure.

Apply both Agile and Waterfall project-management methodologies and promote adherence to established project-management best practices.

Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, milestones, resource plans, budgets, risks, issues, and project documentation.

Manage project scope and schedules to ensure deliverables and milestones are completed as planned.

Develop strategic plans and roadmaps supporting technology and organizational initiatives.

Coordinate internal technical resources, business stakeholders, vendors, and external partners.

Plan and facilitate project status meetings, reviews, and stakeholder discussions.

Prepare project status reports and communicate progress, risks, issues, and decisions to project sponsors and stakeholders.

Develop and maintain project documentation throughout the complete project lifecycle.

Proactively identify potential project risks and issues and implement appropriate mitigation strategies.

Lead and support change-management activities associated with technology and process transformation.

Manage resource requirements and allocation across project activities.

Support budget planning and ongoing project financial oversight.

Drive continuous improvement in project-delivery methods, processes, and governance.

Support technology solicitation, vendor selection, contract negotiation, acquisition, implementation, migration, archival, and retirement of legacy applications.

Required Qualifications

Candidates must meet all required qualifications.

5+ years of experience in IT project management.

3+ years of experience managing projects using a hybrid combination of Agile and Waterfall methodologies.

3+ years of experience in strategic planning and roadmap development.

3+ years of experience in project risk management.

3+ years of experience in resource management.

3+ years of experience in change management.

3+ years of experience in budget planning.

Experience managing large projects of moderate complexity and risk.

PMP, PMI-ACP, or CSM certification required or currently in the process of being obtained.

Strong interpersonal, collaboration, presentation, and facilitation skills.

Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving ability.

Detail-oriented, organized, and accurate approach to project delivery.

Strong customer-service orientation.

Ability to operate effectively as both an individual contributor and collaborative team member.

Preferred Qualifications

Financial services, mortgage, lending, accounting, or related financial-industry experience.

Experience with mortgage servicing and/or mortgage production technology platforms.

Experience leading process-improvement initiatives.

Understanding of financial principles.

Understanding of accounting principles.

Understanding of mortgage principles and related business processes.

Experience managing enterprise application implementations, migrations, modernization, or legacy-system replacement initiatives.

Experience supporting technology procurement, vendor selection, RFP/SOW processes, or contract-related technology initiatives.
