Senior Information Technology Project Manager

Senior IT Project Manager (No 3rd party candidates please)

Tempe, AZ Full-Time (Contract) 10+ Years’ Experience

Lead complex IT projects that shape critical infrastructure, enable new spaces, and deliver enterprise impact—without the bureaucracy.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior IT Project Manager who knows how to operate in high-stakes environments, someone with deep IT experience and the leadership to drive results across departments, disciplines, and deadlines. If you've led technology programs in regulated or compliance-heavy industries, this role will feel like second nature.

You’ll lead major IT initiatives tied to space planning, new facilities, and enterprise project delivery. This role requires technical fluency, budget ownership, and stakeholder savvy, working shoulder-to-shoulder with planners, architects, and internal teams to bring complex programs to life.

This isn’t a back-office role. You’ll be the face of IT in strategic initiatives: leading from the front, communicating with clarity, and keeping delivery on target.

What You’ll Be Driving

Own IT scope, budget, and schedules for facilities-driven and enterprise-level projects.

Partner with architects, engineers, and planning teams to shape IT infrastructure in new spaces.

Align cross-functional IT teams around shared goals and timelines.

Develop and manage robust project plans, financials, milestones, and resource alignment.

Lead 5-15 contributors and matrixed stakeholders through full project lifecycles.

Navigate change management, vendor coordination, and project reporting with ease.

Champion delivery excellence, resolve blockers fast, and elevate the customer experience.

Influence at all levels: from technical teams to senior leaders.

What You Bring to the Table

Experience in regulated industries (utilities, healthcare, finance, government, etc.).

Sharp project instincts: you know when to push, when to listen, and how to keep people moving.

Strategic mindset that connects business needs to technology outcomes.

Strong communicator with the ability to translate complex tech into clear action.

Adept at managing risk, adapting plans, and balancing competing priorities.

Your Background

10+ years of IT experience, including 5+ years as a project lead or manager.

Proven track record managing cross-functional teams, enterprise projects, and multimillion-dollar budgets.

Bachelor's degree preferred.

PMP certification preferred.

Familiarity with public or quasi-public sector environments is a strong plus.

Why This Role, Why Now

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role embedded in work that directly affects infrastructure and community operations. You won’t be stuck in endless planning cycles or buried in red tape you’ll drive outcomes that matter.

We operate with purpose and accountability. If you’re a builder, a fixer, a doer you’ll thrive here.
