About The Position

Our client is seeking a highly experienced and strategic Engagement Lead / Project Manager to oversee a critical legacy system modernization project. This initiative involves the end-to-end migration of a decade-old Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to a modern, cloud-based Microsoft Power Platform environment. The Project Manager will serve as the primary executive liaison between our technical delivery team and EOG leadership.

Requirements

• Familiarity with strict compliance standards, investigative workflows, and government procurement reporting is highly preferred.
• Must be eligible to pass strict background checks and meet the security compliance.
• Must be eligible to pass strict background checks.

Responsibilities

• Direct all phases of the CRM modernization lifecycle, managing a specialized cross-functional team of solution architects, data engineers, developers, and testing leads.
• Develop, maintain, and execute a comprehensive project schedule. Ensure all project milestones and deliverables are completed on time and within the strict legislative appropriation cap.
• Act as the primary point of contact for the Executive Office of the Governor and key stakeholders like the Office of the Chief Inspector General (OCIG). Lead status meetings, facilitate milestone reviews, and provide transparent executive reporting.

• Manage the precise allocation of all key personnel (tracking against estimated role hours), ensuring optimal team performance and seamless coordination across technical workstreams.
