About the Role.
We are seeking an experienced Project Lead to drive the planning and execution of IT initiatives, with a focus on infrastructure and shared services. This is an individual contributor role that requires the ability to lead with influence, build trust, and guide cross-functional teams without direct managerial authority. The ideal candidate will be well-versed in IT project management and coordination techniques, and will excel in bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to complex initiatives.

- Serve as a central point of coordination between infrastructure, shared services, and other technical/business teams.
- Drive accountability across teams through clear communication, proactive follow-ups, and timely escalations.
- Prepare and deliver executive-ready project updates, status reports, and dashboards that synthesize complex information into actionable insights.
- Apply Agile delivery practices, facilitating ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog refinement, and stand-ups when needed.
- Promote a culture of process improvement, helping teams identify efficiencies in execution and reporting.
What We're Looking For.
- 5-10 years of experience in IT project management, preferably within infrastructure or shared services domains.
- Strong command of project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid) and tools (e.g. but not limited to, Jira, Rally, MS Project, Confluence).
- Proven ability to influence without direct authority, gaining alignment and commitment from diverse stakeholders.
- Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with experience preparing senior leaders and executive-level reporting.
- Agile/Scrum Master certification or Agile coaching experience is a bonus.
