  • Project Manager (Insurance/Financial Services)

    Sectech Solutions

    Project leader job in Morristown, NJ

    Project Manager (Insurance & Financial Services) Hybrid Working (2/3 days per week in Morristown, NJ) Contract-To-Hire (Initial 6-month contract with a view to transitioning into a permanent role) Initial contract rates up to $57 p/h (W2) - Annual Salary TBC Our client is an insurance organisation that is based in New Jersey, and due to continued expansion, they are now looking for a Project Manager to join them on a contract-to-hire basis. Experience in Insurance & Financial Services is essential for this role, along with the willingness to work from their Morristown office for a minimum of 2 days per week. Our client utilises something of a hybrid mode with a focus on waterfall planning and Agile execution. As such, their PMs will create a plan within MS Project and then put specific stories/tasks into Jira, from where the various technicians/team leads will take them over. They do use processes specific to them for project initiation, and they maintain project artifacts within Confluence in a way that conforms to their needs. Though some of these are specific to how they do things, the concepts are pure project management, so any extra training specific to this role is truly due to their environment, not to the project management concepts. Additional context from the client:- We VERY rarely do anything with a budget. On a rare occasion, we might get something big enough to worry about, but even in those cases, it is tracking what we used. We don't generally get a budget for a project and then find a way to stay within it or look to get it increased if we exceed certain thresholds. Our challenges will be based more on quantity, less on size or complexity. Someone with a background in QA, process reengineering, solutions architecture, etc., is helpful if, and only if, they use the knowledge to ask the right questions, but this is predominantly a Project Manager role, and the client wants someone who will concentrate on the tasks at hand. Most of the PM interaction will be within one team, other than the status updates to the key business users. Most of the interaction with the business will be through their Business Analysts.
