## Description

An organization is seeking a strategic, highly organized, and assertive IT Project Manager to drive complex, enterprise-level technology initiatives. In this role, you will serve as the central orchestrator between business resources, technical delivery teams, executive sponsors, steering committees, and governance councils.

This is a governance-focused project management role requiring deep expertise in integrated schedule management, effort-based estimation, and critical chain/critical path analysis. You will craft project charters, manage cross-functional dependencies, facilitate formal project reviews (such as Quality Review Boards and peer assessments), and ensure seamless execution of Organizational Change Management (OCM) plans. If you excel at aligning technical delivery with strategic business objectives and driving accountability across all organizational levels, we want to hear from you.

Project Chartering: Craft, maintain, and socialize project charters, defining scope, objectives, roles, and responsibilities.
Portfolio Alignment: Communicate project scope changes, budget variances, and timeline impacts upstream to portfolio managers.

Scheduling & Effort Estimation
Integrated Timelines: Build and maintain comprehensive, resource-driven project schedules incorporating cross-team dependencies, effort allocations, and critical path analysis.
Effort-Based Estimation: Solicit and evaluate work estimates based strictly on net effort rather than duration, ensuring accurate capacity planning and buffer management.
