Fairfax, VA (outside DC): IT Project Manager

I'd like to make you aware of a current job opening at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA (just outside Washington, DC)
https://jobs.gmu.edu/postings/49077

The posting is open until 1/4/2021 and we expect to have it filled with a start date in early February.

About the Position:

The IT Project Manager will work as part of the Project and Portfolio Management Office (PPMO) team providing IT Project Management and Business Analysis support and guidance for Information Technology Projects. The incumbent will lead Information Technology projects while fostering business relationships with project stakeholders and ITS customers across the University.

The successful candidate will bring experience leading IT projects in large and complex organizations and in assisting customers with business processes related to management of IT projects. The IT Project Manager works with other project managers to manage IT projects using the IT Project Management Framework and serves as a liaison of the ITS organization, assisting with the capture of portfolio and project lifecycle information using project templates, monitoring the progress and deliverables in the IT Project portfolio, preparing communications, and assisting ITS Portfolio Owners.

Responsibilities:

- Lead ITS projects through the project management lifecycle;
- Complete all project-management related documentation and deliverables;
- Develop and manage relationships with ITS customers;
- Develop, monitor and manage the project schedule;
- Work with ITS and functional office staff to help gather requirements for their IT projects;
- Research potential solutions and gather information from applicable ITS areas.

Some additional background from me:
Mason's Project Management Office has been around for almost 15 years. For many years we operated under the radar as a very small team; however, in the past 4 years, we've grown to 5 project managers and our current leadership has made our organization a point of emphasis central to the identity of our IT Services organization. We are in growth mode as we look to fill this position and look to the future.
