About The Position

At CCA Global Partners, we're dedicated to building a better world by uniting family-owned businesses across North America. Our mission is to strengthen these businesses into formidable independent competitors, keeping the American Dream alive and thriving. By focusing on people, communities, and independence, we're making a real impact on Main Street businesses across the continent. Ready to be part of our journey?

Join our dynamic team as a Special Projects Manager in our Manchester, NH Office where you’ll lead high-impact, enterprise-wide technology initiatives that drive meaningful business outcomes. Reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer, this role is ideal for an experienced project leader who thrives in complex, cross-functional environments and enjoys working closely with senior leaders. We offer a hybrid work schedule—work remotely on Mondays and Fridays and collaborate in-office Tuesdays through Thursdays—giving you the best of both worlds.

As a Special Projects Manager, you’ll play a critical role in delivering strategic initiatives, such as CRM implementations and enterprise business systems, rather than day-to-day software development project management. You’ll serve as a trusted partner to executive sponsors, ensuring initiatives stay aligned with organizational goals, timelines, and expected outcomes. The Special Projects Manager will lead with professionalism, clarity and confidence while navigating ambiguity and organizational complexity.

Responsibilities

• Manage implementations of enterprise tools, CRM platforms, and other business enablement systems.

• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, budgets, risk registers, and dependency tracking.
• Proactively identify and manage cross-team dependencies, risks, and changes in scope or priorities.
