IT Project Manager - Packaged Software FocusChicago, IL - 5 days onsite/week in the loop
Summary:The IT Project Manager will focus on managing Packaged Software application projects. We do not use a single ERP. But we do employ a lot of 3rd party packaged applications, from various vendors. As such, you could be managing multiple application projects with multiple vendors simultaneously. The software applications could range from HCM, to Accounting software, to CRM, even some data-focused projects.
The projects you'd be managing would touch several thousand end users, that span from the U.S., to Europe, to Asia Pacific. You will also manage projects as small as a 1 month quick feature implementation, to a large vendor/application migration that could take several years.
We have a PMO of about 8 PMs, and we're expanding our team due to the amount of projects we have on the horizon over the coming years.
Over time, you may get an opportunity to work on infrastructure or IT security focused projects as well. But, we're primary looking for PMs who have an applications background.
