Project Manager - Workstreams

Seeking a seasoned Program Manager for a 5–6 month leave coverage contract to step into an active, multi-workstream program and maintain seamless delivery momentum from day one. This is a flexible remote, part-time (20 hour) engagement - DMV local for on-site meetings. In this high-visibility role, you will assume immediate ownership of integrated program plans aligning roadmaps, resources, and PMO governance across HR, Finance, and IT. Your top priorities will be liaising with senior stakeholders, navigating cross-functional dependencies and escalations with clear executive tradeoff analysis, and embedding change management directly into delivery to ensure critical business outcomes stay on track. To succeed, you will bring a proven track record of leading matrixed teams - including project managers, technical SMEs, and cross-functional contributors. You will be responsible for balancing team capacity, fostering accountability across adjacent projects, and holding third-party vendors strictly accountable for performance, deliverables, and budgets. If you excel at stepping into fast-moving environments and are looking for a part-time, flex remote opportunity for 5-6 months, we invite you to apply.
