IT Project Manager
About the Role
We are seeking a hands-on IT Project Manager to drive cross-functional projects that link business operations with technology. This role is about getting things done — taking complex initiatives (POS/CRM/WMS integrations, HR/payroll digitalization, marketing automation, retail tech rollouts) and delivering them on time, within scope, and with real business impact.
Reporting to the Head of Technology & Systems, the IT Project Manager will work closely with Operations, Finance, HR, Marketing, and external vendors to ensure smooth execution.
Key Responsibilities
Project Leadership
- Lead cross-functional tech-enabled projects from kickoff to delivery (system integrations, e-commerce / system enhancements, new retail launches, automation rollouts).
- Manage project scope, timelines, resources, risks, and stakeholder communication.
- Ensure business requirements are clearly defined, translated into technical tasks, and delivered.
Cross-Functional Alignment
- Partner with non-technical stakeholders (Ops, Marketing, HR, Finance) to gather requirements, set priorities, and manage expectations.
- Act as the translator between business teams and developers/vendors.
- Keep alignment clear — no silos, no confusion.
Vendor & Technical Management
- Manage external development agencies, testing partners, and technology vendors.
- Ensure developers deliver against requirements and don’t “bluff” on timelines or technical excuses.
- Use AI and modern project tools to improve speed, documentation, and tracking.
Agile Execution & Reporting
- Run stand-ups, sprint planning, retros, and weekly progress updates.
- Maintain clear project dashboards and documentation (Asana, Jira, Notion, or equivalent).
- Escalate risks and blockers early, with solutions proposed.
Key Outcomes
- Major integration projects (POS ↔ CRM ↔ WMS ↔ HR/Finance) delivered with clear ownership.
- Cross-functional teams aligned with zero “black hole” projects.
- External vendors managed effectively, delivering on-time and in-scope.
- Project delivery success rate >80% (measured by scope, timeline, budget).
- Known internally as a “rockstar PM who gets things done.”
