Technical Project Manager & Solutions Architect

The Professional Services & Solutions Manager leads CentriServe IT’s solution architecture and Professional Services functions, owning the technical design and successful delivery of customer technology projects. This role translates customer business and technology requirements into well-designed, accurately scoped solutions and ensures those solutions are delivered through a consistent, disciplined Professional Services methodology by CSIT’s engineering team.

This role also serves as the Workstream Lead for the Professional Services Excellence pillar of CSIT’s Customer Transformation Program. The manager is accountable for assessing current delivery practices and establishing the processes, project methodology, governance, tools, templates, training, and performance measures required to create a scalable, predictable, and customer-focused Professional Services operating model.

· Coordinate engineers, vendors, Account Management, Service Desk, Procurement, and customer stakeholders to remove blockers and maintain project momentum.

· Lead or oversee kickoffs, status reviews, risk reviews, go/no-go decisions, implementation readiness, escalations, post-project reviews, and customer acceptance.

· Ensure completed projects transition cleanly into Support with complete documentation, validated operational readiness, known-issue review, and clear ownership.

Professional Services Excellence Transformation

· Own the Professional Services Excellence workstream deliverables, milestones, dependencies, risks, implementation, adoption, and measurable outcomes.

· Establish CSIT’s Professional Services methodology, including project classifications, stage gates, quality controls, RAID management, change control, customer communication, testing, UAT, go/no-go criteria, rollback planning, hypercare, closure, and lessons learned.

· Build and maintain standardized workflows, templates, checklists, reporting, project controls, and project documentation standards.

· Develop role-based training for engineers, Account Management, vCIO, Service Desk, Procurement, and other participants in the project lifecycle.

· Pilot new processes, capture lessons learned, correct gaps, monitor adoption, and maintain a continuous-improvement backlog., · Completed projects transition smoothly into Support with complete documentation, validated readiness, and clear ownership.

· Professional Services performance is measured through KPIs for schedule, budget, quality, scope accuracy, customer satisfaction, handoff effectiveness, and methodology adoption.
