Senior Project Manager - Portland, United States - Portland State University
Description
Brief Description of PSU/School/Dept
Portland State University is Oregon's most affordable public research university, located in the heart of one of America's most dynamic cities. Our mission to "let knowledge serve the city" reflects our dedication to turning ideas into action - in Portland and around the world. The city is our campus, giving students unmatched access to career connections, a vibrant cultural scene and hands-on learning experiences with hundreds of community partners.
Oregon Solutions, within the National Policy Consensus Center ( NPCC ) at the Hatfield School of Government in the College of Urban and Public Affairs, is responsible for identifying opportunities to help members of Oregon communities work together to implement solutions and complete projects that serve the community. In general, the communities agree that something needs to be done, but they need help to identify solutions, and the people and money to implement those solutions :
Position Summary
The Oregon Solutions Senior Project Manager helps identify potential Oregon Solutions projects through a variety of channels. They do situational assessments to determine if the situation is ripe for collaborative work. They assemble a collective group of community members and other stakeholders to address the situation. They oversee and manage projects, convene, facilitate group meetings, and work outside the meetings to help the group connect with people and financial resources needed for implementing the project.
The Senior Project Manager is distinct from a project manager because the level of complexity of many of the assigned projects is high, which is defined by a number of factors including (but not limited to):
Contributes to a culture of environmental stewardship, practices resource conservation, and actively works toward achieving long-term sustainability goals.
Work Days/Hours 40 hours per week and a hybrid work option Total Compensation Range & Benefits Statement
Salary is dependent on several factors, and new employees will typically start around the Q1 level to allow for later growth within the salary band. PSU has a structured process for determining starting compensation, taking into account years of related experience, applicable skills, knowledge and abilities, market parity, and internal equity.
The starting annual salary for this position will be between $64,488 and $84,876, but may be negotiated above this range dependent upon the factors above, the budget of the hiring department, and approval from HR.
We also offer an excellent benefits package includes 95% premium paid healthcare; a generous retirement and vacation package; and greatly reduced tuition rates for employee, spouse or dependent at any of the Oregon University System schools :
