Director of IT Project Management
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Employment Type: Full-Time
Position Overview
We are seeking a Director of IT Project Management to lead enterprise technology initiatives including ERP implementations, application integrations, system deployments, and acquisition-related projects.
This is a hands-on leadership role. The ideal candidate can do more than manage project plans and RAID logs — they have the technical knowledge and implementation experience to actively help drive projects forward, remove roadblocks, and work directly with IT and business teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end delivery of enterprise IT projects, including ERP implementations, upgrades, integrations, and system deployments.
- Actively participate in implementation activities including requirements, testing, issue resolution, cutover, and post-go-live support.
- Manage project scope, timelines, budgets, resources, risks, and dependencies across multiple initiatives.
- Partner with business and IT stakeholders to define requirements, priorities, and desired outcomes.
- Lead IT integration activities related to acquisitions, including data migration and system consolidation.
- Manage external vendors and implementation partners to ensure delivery against scope, timeline, and budget.
- Establish effective project governance, Agile processes, and delivery standards.
- Develop executive reporting and dashboards to communicate project status, risks, and outcomes.
- Reduce reliance on third-party project management resources by strengthening internal project execution.
- Provide leadership and mentorship to IT project teams and application specialists.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- 12+ years of IT project management, program management, or technology leadership experience.
- Proven experience leading large-scale ERP implementations; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management strongly preferred.
- Strong understanding of enterprise applications, integrations, and technology implementations.
- Experience with Agile methodologies and tools such as Azure DevOps.
- Experience with acquisition integrations, data migrations, and system consolidations.
- Strong vendor management and communication skills.
- Experience with Power BI, Smartsheet, and Microsoft 365.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in manufacturing, industrial, chemical, distribution, or supply chain environments.
- Experience with supply chain, warehouse management, and procurement systems.
- Strong executive communication skills.
- PMP, PgMP, or similar certification.
- MBA or advanced degree.
