Unlike your average IT team that simply administers technology, we are looking to transform IT into a strategic partner that delivers real impact to the business by delivering innovative solutions. As an IT Project Manager, you will be responsible for project management that consistently delivers objectives and delivers business value. This role will blend traditional project management practices with an Agile development mindset to provide the right balance of agility and predictability. You will use Agile practices, project management processes, and facilitation skills to predictably produce high-quality technical solutions and software releases. You will be responsible for the identification and scoping of IT initiatives, creating project management / agile release plans, reporting status to management, resolving critical project issues, and building an effective IT project team.

To be successful in this position you have a winning attitude, a positive problem-solving approach, an intellectual curiosity, an aptitude for critical thinking, and you enjoy working in a collaborative team environment.  You need to be a self-starter, a team leader, a team player, a change agent, customer focused, results driven, meticulous about details and have an aptitude to see the big picture. In this role, you will have the ability to make significant and long-lasting impacts on the entire KDA organization by advancing our IT delivery capabilities that provide meaningful and transformational IT services and solutions.  As a result, you will be one of the critical change agents within KDA.

The chance to do something meaningful, to challenge yourself, to take others where they would not go on their own, to be a part of change in an industry, and to drive change - doesn’t come around every day!
