Senior Technical Project Manager

Started by a former school district network admin in 2006, the business has grown almost entirely through referrals. Lanternspan IT is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager.

Essential duties and responsibilities:

• Plan cutovers and go-live runbooks with rollback steps
• Control scope changes through a formal change request process
• Escalate blockers early, with options rather than just problems
• Facilitate requirements sessions with business stakeholders
• Manage project budgets, vendor invoices and change orders
• Run kickoffs, weekly status meetings and steering committee updates
• Write status reports that say plainly whether the project is on track

Minimum qualifications:

• 5+ years managing technical projects in IT, software or infrastructure
• Ability to manage several projects at once
