The role also helps oversee website and intranet redesign, CMS evaluation and deployment, APIs and integrations, cloud-hosted website and on-premises intranet implementation, accessibility, and testing. The DPM supports weekly project meetings and associated agendas, status reports, minutes, plans, and review cycles required of the contractor. The role coordinates implementation readiness across design, development, quality assurance, security, acceptance testing, training, go-live, and final acceptance, assuming PM leadership when necessary. Attendance at Commission-coordinated in-person project workshops alongside the PM, Software Manager, and Quality Manager is mandatory.
