Position Overview
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is seeking an experienced Senior IT Project Manager to support its Strategic Portfolio Management Office (SPMO). The team has recently deployed a new Project Portfolio Management (PPM) tool and is expanding its capabilities to support traditional project management, portfolio and program management, and agile management processes.

Important: This position requires an experienced IT Project Manager with a proven background in project, program, portfolio, or agile management. Architect, developer, and business analyst profiles will not be considered.
Key Responsibilities
- Support project managers in adopting project planning and scheduling capabilities using Microsoft Project or comparable enterprise PPM tools.
- Conduct demonstrations, office hours, and one-on-one sessions to help users effectively utilize project scheduling features.

- Apply PPM business process expertise to help configure and develop portfolio, program, and/or agile management modules.

- Lead pilot implementations and support the broader enterprise rollout of new PPM capabilities.
- Develop and deliver role-specific training materials, user guides, tips and tricks, and knowledge base articles.
- Support decentralized PMOs in replicating and adopting standardized project and portfolio management processes.
- Contribute to governance committees responsible for assessing, approving, and prioritizing PPM tool enhancements.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 7 years of IT project management experience in an actual Project Manager role. Experience working on projects in other capacities will not count toward this requirement.
- Minimum 3 years of experience in program management, portfolio management, or agile project management.
- Experience with software testing, user training, and developing user guides or documentation.
- High proficiency in project scheduling using Microsoft Project or another enterprise-class PPM tool.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Visio and the Microsoft Office suite.
- Strong communication, facilitation, training, and stakeholder management skills.
- Ability to support primarily remote work with occasional onsite attendance in Pennsylvania.

- Experience with ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM).
- Experience supporting enterprise PPM implementations, process rollouts, governance, and adoption across multiple PMOs.
