• Define and monitor project success metrics and quality standards
• Communicate updates and insights to senior leadership and stakeholders

What We’re Looking For

• Proven success managing enterprise IT or ECM projects (government or large organization experience preferred)
• Strong knowledge of SDLC methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience with IBM FileNet, workflow automation, or enterprise content systems
• PMP or related certification a plus
