Senior Project Manager

Reports To:

Sr. Director of Strategic Initiatives

SteadyIQ is hiring its first dedicated Senior Project Manager to own project execution discipline across our government implementation portfolio. You will run the plan, the record, and the cadence for three to four concurrent state agency engagements, and you will be the reason nothing falls between the cracks.

This is a delivery and project controls role. It is not a technical authority role and it is not an client ownership role.

The work runs in two registers, and you need to be fluent in both. Internally, we want the lightest process that is actually effective. Externally, engagements that involve partners with demanding project management expectations, their own artifacts, their own gates, and their own reporting cadence. When a client PMO asks for the full apparatus, you deliver it in their format, to their standard, without issues.

This is critical in underscoring SteadyIQ’s purpose-built for government mission and white-glove service throughout the customer journey.

Every implementation is staffed as a three person pod. Clear ownership across the three roles is what keeps us fast- and effective.

Role

Owns

The plan, the record, the cadence, and the portfolio picture. Owns project management practice with the client and the reporting the rest of us rely on.

Solutions Architect

Source of truth for product and technical questions. Leads technical discovery and integration proof of concept. Pulls in engineering and product as needed.

Client Delivery/ Success

The business relationship and program domain expertise. Leads business discovery. Carries the relationship through go-live into ongoing steady-state client management.

Own the project plan for each assigned engagement: work breakdown, schedule, critical path, milestones, dependencies, and baseline change history.

Maintain the RAID log and decision log, for every engagement, and drive open items to closure rather than simply recording them.

Run the meeting mechanics that keep an engagement moving: agendas, minutes, follow ups, and status reporting on a predictable cadence.

Keep documentation current and audit ready, so any internal or client stakeholder can reconstruct what was decided, when, and why.

Produce the consolidated view across all assigned engagements, giving leadership, product, engineering, and sales one place to see status, risk, and what is coming next.

Surface cross project patterns: repeated blockers, recurring risks, resource contention, and dependency collisions between engagements.

Flag slippage early and with enough specificity that the pod can act on it.

Serve as SteadyIQ's project management counterpart to the agency project manager and to System Integrator PMOs.

Represent SteadyIQ on all project management topics for assigned engagements: methodology, artifacts, schedule, governance, reporting, and change control.

Operate inside the client's process, tooling, and templates when required, and produce their artifacts to their standard.

Apply SteadyIQ's implementation playbook to each new engagement and adapt it to that agency's own implementation lifecycle, gate structure, and approval model.

Contribute improvements back to the playbook. While owned by the PMO manager, we want everyone who uses it to make it better.

Help mature the templates, checklists, and reusable artifacts so that our sixth engagement runs more smoothly than our second.

Our platform implementation is increasingly repeatable. However, every agency we deploy it for is starting from scratch and will follow its own process to get there. The central skill in this role is holding one internal playbook stable while re-expressing it in each agency's format and vocabulary, so that our team runs the same play every time while the client experiences their own process being followed properly.

Experience. 6+ years managing complex software or SaaS implementation projects, including direct experience delivering to state or local government agencies.

Project management fluency. You know the standard artifact set cold and can speak PMP with a client PMO.

Client PMO experience. Demonstrated success operating inside a client's or System Integrator's project management environment, using their tools and templates on their cadence.

Process building. A track…
