Irving, Phoenix, Tampa Office (Hybrid) or Remote

The Senior IT Project Manager, I&O, is a critical leadership role responsible for driving end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-workstream infrastructure programs across Meriton. This position requires a seasoned practitioner who can operate with strategic clarity and tactical precision — translating I&O objectives into executable plans, navigating ambiguity, and consistently delivering measurable business outcomes.

The Senior PM will serve as the primary delivery lead for high-priority infrastructure initiatives spanning cloud migration, data center operations, network modernization, end‑user computing, and IT service delivery. In addition to direct project ownership, this role will partner closely with the Enterprise Systems PMO to uphold shared standards, governance rigor, and cross‑functional alignment.

• Own the full project lifecycle — initiation through closing — for complex, multi‑workstream IT infrastructure programs and portfolios
• Translate I&O strategic objectives into program charters, integrated roadmaps, and measurable success metrics (KPIs/OKRs)
• Manage a concurrent portfolio of initiatives, balancing capacity, risk, cross‑program dependencies, and critical path constraints
• Define and maintain integrated program and project plans, including milestones, release schedules, and resource forecasts
• Lead structured risk, issue, and change management processes; develop remediation and mitigation plans; escape critical items to senior leadership with clear context and recommended actions
• Oversee vendor relationships, contracts, and SLAs — holding third parties accountable to delivery commitments and quality standards

• Establish, maintain, and continuously improve PMO standards, templates, and processes for IT Infrastructure in alignment with the Enterprise Systems PMO
• Champion consistent practices for project intake, prioritization, and approval in partnership with I&O leadership
• Drive executive‑level status reporting, dashboards, and communication routines — delivering data‑driven insights on portfolio health, spend, and risk
• Apply and promote the appropriate delivery methodology (Agile, Kanban, Waterfall, or hybrid) based on project context and stakeholder needs
• Ensure financial governance discipline: forecasting, budget tracking, variance analysis, and timely escalation of budget risks across programs

• Serve as the primary point of contact and accountability for program stakeholders across IT, Finance, Security, and Business units
• Facilitate requirements gathering, scope definition, and decision‑making with technical and non‑technical audiences
• Define clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability frameworks aligned to I&O delivery standards
• Communicate project status, risks, and decisions with precision and executive presence — adjusting style and detail level to audience
• Build and sustain trusted relationships across engineering, operations, security, and vendor teams

• Directly manage high‑priority or high‑complexity infrastructure projects when the situation demands, leading from the front
• Coordinate internal resources, vendors, and third‑party partners with clear expectations, accountability, and delivery rigor
• Ensure seamless transition of completed solutions to operations, including runbooks, support models, and knowledge transfer documentation
• Foster a team culture of accountability,…
