We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated hands-on IT Project Manager to take an in-flight technology programme through its final delivery phase and into operations. Plans are in place — what’s needed now is focus, discipline, and execution to get the remaining work delivered cleanly and on schedule.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can work with minimal input (though direction will be provided) engage confidently with senior stakeholders and roll up their sleeves to create and manage deliverables as needed.

This position is a full-time on-site role in The Woodlands Texas and will be a 3-to-6-month engagement, most likely 6 months.

• Collaborate closely with internal teams and external service providers to ensure seamless execution.
• Manage transition and closure activities, including documentation, handover into on-going operations.
• Maintain a relentless focus on outcomes — keeping the team aligned, accountable, and moving forward.

• Strong consulting or client-facing background — comfortable structuring information, influencing decisions, and driving accountability.
• Exceptional attention to detail with hands-on capability in Excel, PowerPoint, and other project management tools.
