What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager position at CEI?
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our team on a hybrid schedule, requiring three days in the office and two days remote. The preferred location is Cleveland, OH, with Pittsburgh, PA, as a secondary option. This is a six-month contract role with the potential for extension or contract-to-hire. While there is no overtime, occasional evening or weekend coverage may be needed for releases, with flex time provided.
The successful candidate will manage initiatives supporting internal systems, including HR, Legal, Audits, Enterprise Innovations, the Enterprise Change Office, and Ethics. A background in banking or insurance is preferred. The role requires a formal program management professional with a proven ability to lead teams and stakeholders from project initiation to completion. Key responsibilities include onboarding and training, managing projects using the client’s established methodologies, updating project tracking tools such as Clarizen with risks, issues, deliverables, and financials, and providing weekly status reports on large-scale projects. Communication with stakeholders and senior leadership is essential, as is the ability to handle large budgets of $1 million or more and manage complex projects.
Candidates must have strong technical skills, including experience with Agile methodologies, cross-functional project management, financial management, stakeholder and vendor coordination, SDLC processes, risk and issue management, and budgeting for large-scale projects. Familiarity with tools such as Clarizen and Jira, along with certifications in PMP or Agile SAFe, are highly desirable. The ideal candidate will exhibit exceptional leadership, adaptability, and communication skills to thrive in dynamic environments and guide cross-functional teams effectively. A bachelor’s degree is preferred, though equivalent work experience will be considered.
Applicants should have three to five years of relevant experience.
