About The Position

Davis Technology Management is a successful technology company in the IT staffing, Technology Consulting and IT Managed Services sector. Our focus is crafting technical and staffing solutions that empower businesses and foster growth. Our foundation is built on a commitment to our Core Values, and a team dedicated to bridging the gap between innovative IT solutions and businesses seeking to navigate the complexities of the digital age. At the heart of everything we do, we’re dedicated to exceeding expectations and creating RAVING FANS both within our internal team and amongst our clients. We are seeking a mid-level IT Project Manager to oversee and coordinate delivery across a portfolio of 6–8 concurrent technology initiatives, including AI enablement, intelligent automation, data analytics, application modernization, and cloud infrastructure. This role is responsible for maintaining a consolidated view of all initiatives, ensuring teams and vendors are accountable to timelines and quality standards, and proactively identifying risks and dependencies. The Project Manager will establish consistent reporting cadences, provide clear executive-level updates, and ensure alignment between technical teams, business stakeholders, and leadership. The ideal candidate is highly organized, delivery-focused, and comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously while driving outcomes, improving visibility, and bringing structure to a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Computer Science, or a related discipline
Experience managing multiple concurrent IT initiatives simultaneously — portfolio-level coordination, not just single-project delivery
Strong accountability and escalation discipline — comfortable holding people to commitments and raising flags early, even when it's uncomfortable
Excellent communication skills — can synthesize technical initiative status into clear, actionable executive updates
Delivery-oriented mindset — tracks outcomes and quality, not just task completion
Enough IT/software delivery literacy to have credible conversations with technical teams and spot when things don't add up

Nice To Haves

Experience with Agile delivery (sprint planning, retrospectives) and hybrid Agile/Waterfall environments
Familiarity with Jira for project tracking
Experience coordinating vendor-delivered work (SOW tracking, delivery validation)
Exposure to any of the initiative domains listed above (AI/ML, data platforms, containerization, cloud infrastructure)
PowerBI or similar tool experience for building initiative health dashboards

Responsibilities

Maintain a consolidated view of all active initiatives — status, milestones, owners, dependencies, and risks
Hold internal teams and vendor partners accountable for committed deliverables and timelines
Identify and manage cross-initiative dependencies and resource conflicts
Verify that deliverables meet acceptance criteria — not just "done" but "done right"
Establish and maintain a regular reporting cadence (weekly team updates, biweekly executive summaries)
Prepare clear, concise portfolio status updates for the Director of Architecture and CIO
Proactively identify communication gaps between teams, between business and IT, and between onshore and offshore contributors
Tailor communications to the audience — technical detail for delivery teams, outcome-focused summaries for executives
Proactively identify delivery risks and escalate early with recommended mitigations
Track and manage issue resolution across initiatives
Coordinate with vendor partners on delivery expectations, SOW commitments, and quality standards. A small portion of the automation initiatives involve an offshore vendor team
Ensure vendor deliveries are aligned with timelines and integrated with internal workstreams
Coordinate across the following initiative areas: AI Enablement: Enterprise Microsoft Copilot adoption (M365 Copilot, PowerBI Copilot, Copilot Studio), AI for SDLC (developer tooling and GenAI frameworks), Intelligent Automations: Agentic automations with Copilot Studio, Power Platform migration from legacy RPA, Data & Analytics: Data analytics platform build-out (pipeline modernization, semantic models, self-service reporting), Application Modernization: Containerization (ECS migration from EC2-hosted workloads), Infrastructure: Cloud infrastructure optimization initiatives
Management Reporting: Executive dashboards, initiative scorecards, and periodic leadership updates
