Job description

Job Title: Senior IT Project Manager (Pricing Transformation). Location: Remote (U.S.; Irving, TX time zone preferred). Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099). About the Opportunity: ZipStaff is seeking a seasoned, technically fluent Senior IT Project Manager for a high-stakes pricing modernization at a major healthcare distribution and life-sciences organization. You will operate as the traffic controller across ~10 technical teams and external vendors—not as a developer and not as the vendor SOW owner. You must understand API migrations, JDE decoupling, and GCP well enough to call out risk, keep dual-run testing on schedule, and hit Thanksgiving/Christmas freeze windows. What You'll Do: • Drive a ~12-week dual-run: legacy JDE pricing vs. Pricing 2.0 on GCP; own defect triage and daily replication-pipeline operations. • Manage the Pricing Engine Enabler across ~10 teams (MuleSoft → Spring Boot APIs; JDE on-prem / JDE cloud / new APIs). • Hold vendor transition resources to daily deliverables and scope without owning their SOW. • Run PMO governance: Smartsheet schedules, Jira/Confluence execution, RAID, dependency maps, executive rollups; blend waterfall dates with SAFe ARTs. • Facilitate working sessions that remove blockers; protect critical-path milestones through holiday cutover freezes. Required Qualifications: • 8+ years IT project management on complex, enterprise-scale programs. • Proven lead of API migration or cloud/data integration (MuleSoft/Spring Boot, GCP, or equivalent)—you coordinated delivery, you did not write the code. • Hands-on Smartsheet and Jira/Confluence today (learning on the job is not acceptable). • Matrix management of multiple development teams plus external vendors (Big 4 / KPMG-style) without direct-line authority. • Enough technical fluency to discuss API switches, ERP decoupling, replication, and cloud cutover risk with integration leads. • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future. Preferred Qualifications: • BA/BSA background before PM. • SAFe, ARTs, PI planning; hybrid waterfall + Agile cutovers. • JDE or other ERP module decoupling. • Commercial pricing, finance transformation, or e-commerce. • PMP, CSM, or SAFe Agilist. • GCP, Spring Boot, MuleSoft, GoldenGate, JDE, Salesforce. About ZipStaff: ZipStaff partners with leading organizations to connect skilled technology professionals with high-impact contract opportunities. We focus on quality matches, clear communication, and long-term success for candidates and clients. To apply, submit your resume highlighting enterprise IT PM work, API or cloud integration programs you governed, and Smartsheet + Jira/Confluence you personally ran. Pay: $50 - $52 per hour
