• Develop project deliverables for clients.
• Communicate project and delivery status to our clients, team members, and other stakeholders, including the facilitation of client meetings.

As an SGPG team member, you will:

• In partnership with our internal team, support business development and opportunity management activities to respond to state government IT department opportunities.

• Participate in marketing and business development activities, including writing blog posts and participating in prospective client business development meetings.

• Five or more years’ experience leading or consulting on IT operations using IT governance, management, services, and operational best practices and frameworks (including ITIL and/or COBIT) to help IT entities/departments optimize their operations in a rigorous and comprehensive manner.
• Knowledge of all ITIL management practices and experience.
• ISACA (i.e., COBIT, CISA, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT), DevOps, ITIL, BRM Institute, and PMI/Scrum/Agile certifications (a plus, but not required)
• Experience facilitating meetings and public speaking with large groups in person as well as in a virtual environment.
• Ability to balance multiple assignments and achieve quality results in a timely manner.
• Willingness to work in a small team setting, often developing deliverables for managerial review on your own.
