Senior Project Management Consultant Austin, TX 8+ Months Onsite Big impact, big visibility, big responsibility At iSphere, we like project managers who don't just track progress - they make it impossible to ignore. If you're the kind of leader who can walk into a room full of moving parts, competing agendas, and shifting priorities and somehow bring order to it all, this role was written for you. This senior-level position delivers consultative services, technical oversight, and project leadership on some of the agency's most mission-critical initiatives. You'll be the person leadership trusts to keep multiple priority projects aligned, moving, and documented - and to help the organization raise its project management game across the board. If you like visibility, autonomy, and having your fingerprints on major organizational improvements welcome home. What You'll Do (and Why You'll Matter) Own the Big Stuff You'll oversee priority initiatives and special projects, ensuring that the right methodologies, tools, and practices are used from kickoff to close. You won't just be following the playbook - you'll help write it. Bring Clarity Where There Isn't Any You'll interpret complex problems, gather and analyze data, identify gaps, and recommend solutions that leadership can actually use. When something isn't working, you'll be the one who diagnoses the issue and charts the path forward. Connect the Dots Across the Organization With multiple business and program units involved, you'll help everyone stay aligned. Coordination, communication, and relationship-building are huge - and you'll excel because you understand how to keep stakeholders engaged and informed without overwhelming them. Design the Tools That Keep Everything Running Project plans, charters, reports, dashboards, risk assessments, SOWs, business process maps - you'll help produce, refine, and guide all of them.
