Project Manager — Greater Pittsburgh Region

MfPHEx builds Technical Teams. We are a Solutions and Placement firm shaped by decades of interaction with Technical professionals. Our inspiration is continuous learning and engagement with the markets we serve, the talent we represent, and the teams we build. Our team is encouraged to enjoy career fulfillment in the form of challenging engagements, schedule flexibility, and paid training/certifications. Successful outcomes start and finish with MfPHEx.

MfPHEx is seeking a technically fluent Project Manager to keep our data initiatives organized, visible, and moving. You'll be the Head of Data's right hand for delivery: attending key meetings, capturing decisions, turning them into tracked work, and driving follow-through across data, engineering, and business teams. You don't need to be a hands-on data bXXRavFB, but you do need to speak the language well enough to understand what's being built, spot risks early, and hold people accountable to commitments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own project and program coordination for the data team's portfolio of initiatives, from intake and planning through delivery

• Attend project, planning, and stakeholder meetings, and capture decisions, risks, dependencies, and action items

• Use Microsoft Copilot to generate and refine meeting summaries, reviewing them for accuracy and technical correctness before distributing

• Manage and maintain Azure DevOps (ADO) Boards: create and groom work items, maintain backlogs, track sprint progress, and keep owners, statuses, and priorities current

• Drive follow-up to completion by working with owners, removing blockers, and escalating stalled or at-risk items to the Head of Data

• Schedule and facilitate follow-up meetings, working sessions, and checkpoints with data, engineering, and business stakeholders

• Develop and share regular status updates, timelines, and risk summaries for the Head of Data and senior stakeholders

• Identify process gaps and improve how the team plans, communicates, and delivers

• Translate technical details into clear, plain-language updates for non-technical audiences

Required Qualifications:

• 2-4+ years of project management, program coordination, or similar experience, ideally within a data, analytics, or engineering environment

• Strong working knowledge of Azure DevOps Boards (work items, backlogs, sprints, dashboards, reporting)

• Familiarity with common data concepts and terminology (e.g., pipelines, data warehousing, ETL/ELT, data governance, dashboards) sufficient to follow technical discussions and ask the right questions

• Experience using Microsoft Copilot or similar AI tools to summarize meetings and streamline documentation

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex discussions into clear takeaways

• Strong organizational skills and comfort juggling multiple projects, deadlines, and stakeholders at once

• A proactive, accountable style: you follow up without being asked and keep work moving

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to Databricks or similar data platforms

• Experience working in Agile or Scrum environments

• Project management certification (PMP, CAPM, PSM, or similar)

• Experience managing cross-functional projects involving multiple technical teams

No C2C, 3rd party, or relocation candidates need apply.
