    Proven experience in large-scale project management with IV&V activities.
    Strong leadership and communication skills


    Project Specifications:

    The KCC has initiated a project to replace the existing Docket Management System.

    This system is a core business component in which daily KCC business processes are integrated into and extend out from.

    The KCC anticipates selecting and contracting with a new docket system vendor in the second quarter of 2024, with a golive date anticipated in the first half of the 2026 calendar year.

    This project will also be engaging an outside IV&V in which the project manager will have to closely interact with, and report information to, throughout the project.


    Deliverables:

    a. Perform project preparations, providing guidance, advice, and experience-based information.
    b.

    Develop and maintain a comprehensive project plan, outlining timelines, milestones, and resource allocations in adherence to the Kansas Project Management Methodology (PMM) and ITEC policies.

    c. Submit required project related documents to the Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) vendor.
    d. Facilitate stakeholder collaboration, ensuring alignment with project objectives.
    e. Establish and maintain project documentation, including plans, schedules, status reports, and IV&V findings.
    f. Identify and assess project risks, developing mitigation strategies.
    g. Implement quality assurance processes to ensure the integrity and accuracy of project deliverables.
    h. Oversee testing and validation activities to meet quality standards.
    i. Serve as the primary point of contact for project-related matters.
    j. Regularly communicate project status, issues, and updates to stakeholders.


    Work Location and Travel:

    The Project Manager will report to, and work on-site, at the KCC main office located at 1500 SW Arrowhead Road, Topeka, Kansas.

    There will be little to no travel outside of Topeka, KS required for the duties.

    After an orientation period, and depending on the needs of the agency, there will be a potential for a hybrid weekly work schedule.
