Job description

V2A is looking for a Project Manager for a technology and organizational transformation program with a public-sector client. The PM owns one workstream of the program and serves as its day-to-day lead: building and maintaining the plan; coordinating the client units, vendors, and support offices involved; tracking progress against commitments; and keeping the program office and leadership informed. The role is embedded in the client’s team and works closely with V2A’s consultants on the engagement, as well as with a V2A engagement manager who provides direction and quality oversight.

What you will do

• Own your workstream's project plan, trackers and document repository, and keep them current and accurate.
• Produce the recurring reporting the program depends on: weekly status updates, monthly reports and presentations for the program office and steering committee, and inputs to periodic compliance reports.
• Plan, facilitate and document working sessions with client units, teams and vendors. Prepare agendas, minutes, agreed actions and follow-ups.
• Analyze compliance requirements and external data requests that touch your workstream, translate them into tasks and evidence, and document them in the client's tracking tools.
• Prepare materials and talking points for leadership reviews and external oversight meetings.
• Identify risks and blockers early, escalate them to the program office and V2A's engagement manager, and propose corrective actions.
• Attend the standing governance cadence: program office weekly meetings, monthly status reviews, team touchpoints, and oversight meetings as requested.
• Keep a daily, descriptive log of hours and activities.

How the role works

• Contracted, project-based position requiring full-time dedication (approximately 160 hours per month), worked on-site at client locations in San Juan during the client’s office hours.
• Work is conducted in Spanish with the client and in English for formal reporting and external oversight. Both languages are used daily, including translating minutes and reports.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Public Administration, Engineering, Human Resources, Education or a related field.
• 4+ years managing projects or workstreams in consulting, government, technology implementation or similar multi-stakeholder settings. Experience with Puerto Rico public-sector agencies is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with at least one of the following: organizational design, staffing and recruiting processes, training and technology adoption programs, or system implementations.
• Strong planning and follow-through.
• Clear written and verbal communication in Spanish and English.
• Analytical and structured: able to read a requirement or data request, break it into tasks and evidence, and document it.
• Professional presence with senior client leadership, external reviewers and vendors.
• Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint and Teams. PMP or similar certification is a plus, not required.
