Project Manager Capital IT Initiatives

FocusPoint is supporting a long standing enterprise partner with the addition of a Project Manager who can operate inside a capital funded IT environment where priorities shift personalities vary and outcomes matter more than ceremony. This role is not a template PM assignment. It requires someone who reads the room keeps momentum without rigidity and can translate complex technical work into clear high signal summaries for senior leaders.

This engagement runs now through year end with annual capital approval cycles that create a realistic path for extension.

What This Role Actually Looks Like Day to Day

The incoming PM will move across several concurrent workstreams-some vendor led some internally owned some primarily financial or coordination driven. The mix typically includes:

• Infrastructure heavy initiatives (networking refreshes environment upgrades)
• Projects where the PM is the primary driver
• Vendor run efforts where the PM ensures alignment accountability and communication
• Capital tracking refresh cycles and executive level reporting
• High level planning and outcome summaries rather than deep Gantt style artifacts

This is not a sequential one project at a time environment. Success requires comfort juggling multiple efforts without losing clarity or composure.

The Type of Professional Who Thrives Here

FocusPoint is targeting someone who brings:

• At least three years managing multiple simultaneous IT projects
• Strong organizational instincts and the ability to keep teams moving without micromanagement
• Emotional intelligence and the ability to navigate personalities not just tasks
• A facilitation mindset-removing friction clarifying decisions and keeping momentum
• Adaptability over rigidity; clarity over complexity
• Experience with infrastructure centric initiatives (networking experience is a plus)
• Familiarity with lightweight tooling (the team uses not a heavy PPM suite)

This team values results communication and relationship management more than ornate documentation.

Work Location

The work can be performed remotely with the expectation of periodic on site presence-typically a week at a time roughly once per month depending on project cadence.

Reporting Structure

The PM will work directly with and report to the Senior Manager overseeing the IT portfolio. This leader is hands on outcome focused and expects clear communication rather than excessive process.

Interview Flow

FocusPoint maintains a streamlined evaluation process:

1. Initial conversation with FocusPoint
2. Discussion with the hiring leader
3. Conversation with the portfolio executive
4. If needed a brief panel with IT Directors

The process is designed to move quickly for the right candidate.

Compensation

The target range for this engagement is 48 to 58 per hour depending on experience and alignment with the environment described above.
