IT Project Manager

About the role 

Kurv (Electronic Merchant Systems) is hiring a Project Manager to own the flow from intake → sizing/ROI → prioritization → delivery → commercialization for IT-led initiatives. You’ll partner with business leaders to translate ideas into scoped work, align executives on priorities, drive cross-functional delivery, and ensure every release lands with training, enablement, and measurable adoption—not just code shipped. 

What you’ll do 

• Run intake and discovery; clarify problem statements, value hypotheses, dependencies, and compliance needs. 

• Build decision-ready packets with T-shirt sizing (effort/complexity/risk) and ROI with business/finance. 

• Drive portfolio prioritization using objective criteria (strategic fit, ROI, capacity, risk). 

• Maintain the source-of-truth roadmap in Monday.com/Jira (owners, dates, RAG, risks, decisions). 

• Lead delivery: plans, milestones, critical path, inter-team dependencies; run standups/demos/readouts. 

• Orchestrate commercialization & GTM: release notes, playbooks, internal training, adoption tracking. 

• Measure outcomes: define success metrics up front; run 30/60/90-day post-launch reviews. 

What success looks like 

• Intake → exec decision cycle time ≤ 15 business days. 

• On-time delivery ≥ 90%, with risks surfaced early and mitigated. 

• Tangible business impact at 30/60/90 days (usage, reliability, revenue/cost metrics). 

What you bring 

• 5–8 years project/program management in IT, product, or operations with proven cross-functional delivery. 

• Skilled at building business cases and turning them into prioritized roadmaps. 

• Hands-on commercialization/GTM experience (enablement assets, training, launch/adoption plans). 

• Tools: Monday.com or Jira; Confluence/Docs; diagramming (Miro/Visio).  

• Excellent communication with executives and frontline teams; crisp writing and facilitation. 

Nice to have 

• Payments/fintech or enterprise SaaS background. 

• Exposure to cloud migration and/or data platform work (e.g., lakehouse). 

• Familiarity with compliance (PCI, SOC 2, SOX) and vendor coordination. 

• Agile/Scrum or PMI; change management (Prosci/ADKAR) helpful.
