Project Manager, IT Project Manager, Change Management

Description

The Project Manager leads the structured execution of approved initiatives within Lifeworks' project portfolio, managing each project from initiation through closure to deliver the approved scope, schedule, budget, and quality. Most initiatives are technology-enabled, including system implementations, business process improvements, and vendor-led projects, and they advance technology, operational, strategic, and cross-functional goals. Success is measured by the operational and organizational outcomes achieved, not by system go-live alone.

Working within the organization's project portfolio governance and decision-making structure, the Project Manager partners with executive sponsors and functional leaders, who own project outcomes, and with the Information Technology team and vendors, who are often key to designing, delivering, and supporting solutions. The Project Manager also engages the staff and department leaders who are the primary users of project outcomes, and plans delivery around the limited time they have for testing, training, and adoption.
