Technical Project Manager

About the Role

Seeking a Technical Project Manager to own a portfolio of 6–10 concurrent infrastructure and technical projects. This role is execution-focused: your primary mandate is keeping projects on schedule, on budget, and performing against approved project plans — not solutioning or hands-on technical delivery. You'll be the person leadership looks to for an honest, current answer on "where do things actually stand."

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a portfolio of 6–10 active infrastructure/technical projects simultaneously, tracking timeline adherence, milestone completion, and plan-vs-actual performance
• Maintain and report project health (schedule, budget, scope, risk) to stakeholders on a recurring cadence
• Identify schedule slippage and resource conflicts early; drive corrective action plans rather than just flagging problems
• Coordinate across infrastructure, network, systems, and vendor teams to remove blockers
• Own project documentation: charters, schedules, RAID logs, status reports
• Escalate risks and resourcing gaps to leadership with clear, data-backed recommendations
• Manage change control and scope adjustments against baseline plans

Required Qualifications

• Active PMP certification (required, non-negotiable)
• Minimum 5+ years managing technical/infrastructure projects
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent projects (portfolio-level, not single large program)
• Background in infrastructure project delivery: data center, network, systems migration, cloud infrastructure, or similar — heavier weighting than application/software delivery experience
• Strong command of project scheduling tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, or equivalent) and reporting to executive stakeholders
• Must be local to the Kansas City metro area

Preferred Qualifications

• Healthcare industry experience (compliance awareness: HIPAA-adjacent project handling, change windows, downtime coordination)
• Experience managing vendor/contractor resources alongside internal teams
