🚀 About the Role

The IT Project Leader will serve as a key link between leadership, internal teams, and external partners to plan, coordinate, and execute strategic IT initiatives.

You’ll focus on budgeting, project planning, and coordination — helping ensure every IT project aligns with business goals, stays on schedule, and delivers measurable value. You’ll partner closely with our IT Specialist (who manages day-to-day system operations) and ensure accountability, structure, and follow-through across all IT initiatives.

This position requires a big-picture mindset — someone who understands how systems connect, what’s possible within our environment, and how to balance business needs with technical capabilities.

• Coordinate across multiple teams (both internal and external) to ensure consistent execution and communication.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Translate business requirements into technical deliverables and ensure clear expectations with all stakeholders.

• Partner with vendors, consultants, and service providers to manage project deliverables, timelines, and maintenance schedules.

• Communicate system capabilities and limitations when scoping projects to set realistic expectations.

• Maintain clear documentation and reporting on all IT initiatives.

Key Projects & Responsibilities

• Website Project: Lead website and system integration projects to align user experience goals with ERP functionality and ensure seamless connections across platforms.

• Coordinating System Customizations: Work with department managers to define desired functionality and coordinate with outside consultants to implement within existing systems.

• Website/Salesforce Sync: Oversee data synchronization between Salesforce, the website, and other systems, ensuring accurate and timely information flow.

• P21 System Management: Coordinate with ERP service providers to plan maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshoot system issues within the P21 environment

•  

Team & Operations

• Provide structure, accountability, and project oversight for the IT Specialist (direct report).

• Create and maintain IT documentation, SOPs, and best practices.

• Work with other departments to align technology with operational needs.

• Identify opportunities for process improvement and automation across systems.

🧠 What You Bring
