$60-$75/hr Why Work Here This is a strong opportunity to embed yourself within a data-driven organization that is actively investing in its analytics and reporting capabilities. The team operates with a modern, agile mindset, working in two-week sprints and structured planning events that keep work organized and forward-moving. Leadership values collaboration and communication at every level, and the environment rewards people who bring structure without bureaucracy. The role offers real variety, as you will touch a wide range of data initiatives rather than being locked into a single project. For a project manager who enjoys working at the intersection of business and technology, this engagement offers meaningful work, a supportive team, and a clear path toward extension.

Day-to-day, you will work directly with technical and business stakeholders to keep initiatives moving, translate business needs into user stories and epics, and ensure delivery teams stay aligned and unblocked.
