You can read a room and adjust on the fly. * Natural relationship builders who earns trust across levels, from end users to executives. * Organized without being rigid - you build structure to serve the project, not the other way around. * Comfortable with ambiguity and able to drive clarity when things get muddy. * Accountability-focused - you follow through, and you hold others to the same standard without being a gatekeeper. * Enough IT fluency to have credible conversations with technical teams, understand project constraints, and spot when something doesn't add up. ## Description The IT Project Manager is a key contributor to Mall of America's operational effectiveness, responsible for the structured planning, coordination, and delivery of technology initiatives across the organization.
