Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SteadyIQ provides income and eligibility verification solutions for public sector programs. The Senior Project Manager will own project execution discipline across three to four concurrent state agency implementation engagements, managing plans, documentation, governance, reporting, risks, dependencies, and client PMO coordination. The role will also apply and improve SteadyIQ’s implementation playbook and provide consolidated portfolio visibility.
Responsibilities
- Own the project plan for each assigned engagement: work breakdown, schedule, critical path, milestones, dependencies, and baseline change history
- Maintain the RAID log and decision log, for every engagement, and drive open items to closure rather than simply recording them
- Run the meeting mechanics that keep an engagement moving: agendas, minutes, follow ups, and status reporting on a predictable cadence
- Keep documentation current and audit ready, so any internal or client stakeholder can reconstruct what was decided, when, and why
- Produce the consolidated view across all assigned engagements, giving leadership, product, engineering, and sales one place to see status, risk, and what is coming next
- Surface cross project patterns: repeated blockers, recurring risks, resource contention, and dependency collisions between engagements
- Flag slippage early and with enough specificity that the pod can act on it
- Serve as SteadyIQ's project management counterpart to the agency project manager and to System Integrator PMOs
- Represent SteadyIQ on all project management topics for assigned engagements: methodology, artifacts, schedule, governance, reporting, and change control
- Operate inside the client's process, tooling, and templates when required, and produce their artifacts to their standard
- Apply SteadyIQ's implementation playbook to each new engagement and adapt it to that agency's own implementation lifecycle, gate structure, and approval model
- Contribute improvements back to the playbook. While owned by the PMO manager, we want everyone who uses it to make it better
- Help mature the templates, checklists, and reusable artifacts so that our sixth engagement runs more smoothly than our second
Skills
- Experience. 6+ years managing complex software or SaaS implementation projects, including direct experience delivering to state or local government agencies
- Project management fluency. You know the standard artifact set cold and can speak PMP with a client PMO
- Client PMO experience. Demonstrated success operating inside a client's or System Integrator's project management environment, using their tools and templates on their cadence
- Process building. A track record of establishing repeatable process where none existed, without over engineering it
- Documentation discipline and responsiveness. Our most demanding government clients ask for artifacts on short notice. Turnaround speed is part of the standard, not a nice to have
- Technical literacy. Enough fluency to sit on an integration or API design discussion, follow it, and capture dependencies and risks accurately
- PMP certification. Strongly preferred
- PMI-ACP, CSM, CAPM, or SAFe are a plus
- Modern tooling. Experience with project management tooling, especially Microsoft Project (used extensively in government) is preferred
- AI proficiency. We do NOT use AI for the sake of using AI. We ARE aggressively pursuing AI initiatives that deliver real, provable value at streamlining efficiency and experience and openness to the use of AI tools is highly desired
- Program domain. Familiarity with public benefits programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, or TANF, with eligibility systems, or with income and employment verification
- Public sector operations. Working knowledge of state IT governance, security review processes, inter agency data sharing, and public sector procurement cycles
Benefits
- This position is eligible for equity.
- 100% company-paid benefits package for employees and their families, including medical, dental, and vision.
- Unlimited time off.
- Future growth opportunities within the company.
