About the Project Manager - Systems Role at Robert Half

Robert Half is thrilled to present an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned Project Manager - Systems to join our client's dynamic team in Nashua, New Hampshire, United States. This long-term contract position is perfect for a detail-oriented professional passionate about driving system-related projects to success. As a key player, you will oversee a diverse portfolio of initiatives, including CRM and Salesforce implementations, while leading cross-functional teams to deliver results on time and within budget. With Nashua's thriving tech ecosystem and proximity to Boston's innovation hub, this role offers the ideal blend of local impact and professional growth.

In this position, you'll harness formal project management methodologies and Agile Scrum practices to navigate complex projects, manage RFPs, mitigate risks, and ensure seamless stakeholder communication. Robert Half, a global leader in professional staffing, connects top talent like you with rewarding opportunities that align with your career aspirations. Whether you're advancing your expertise in Salesforce optimization or mastering RFP processes, this role positions you at the forefront of systems innovation.

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike traditional project management jobs, this opportunity emphasizes hands-on leadership in high-stakes system integrations. You'll collaborate with diverse teams, from IT specialists to business leaders, fostering an environment of efficiency and adaptability. Ideal for PMP-certified professionals or those with equivalent experience, it's a chance to leave a lasting legacy in a collaborative setting.

Key Responsibilities

As the Project Manager - Systems, your core duties will span the entire project lifecycle, ensuring every initiative aligns with strategic goals.

• Lead system-focused projects from initiation to closure, maintaining strict alignment with organizational objectives and KPIs.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams, assigning tasks, resolving conflicts, and driving collective accountability for milestones.
• Craft comprehensive project plans, including Gantt charts, timelines, resource allocation, and budgets, while proactively monitoring variances.
• Spearhead CRM and Salesforce implementations, overseeing data migration, customization, user training, and go-live phases for flawless integration.
• Manage end-to-end RFP processes: from drafting detailed RFPs and SOWs to evaluating vendor bids, negotiating contracts, and selecting optimal partners.
• Apply proven methodologies like Waterfall, PMI standards, or hybrid approaches to instill discipline and transparency.
• Engage stakeholders through workshops, requirement elicitation sessions, and status meetings to prioritize features and manage expectations.
• Champion Agile Scrum ceremonies—daily stand-ups, sprints, retrospectives—to enhance team velocity and responsiveness to change.
• Enforce compliance with regulations like GDPR, SOX, and internal policies, conducting audits and implementing controls.
• Deliver executive-level reports with dashboards, KPIs, risk registers, and actionable insights on progress and roadblocks.

Required Qualifications

To excel in this role, candidates must bring a robust blend of technical acumen, leadership prowess, and strategic foresight.

• Bachelor's degree in IT, Business Administration, or related field; PMP, CSM, or similar certifications highly preferred.
• 5+ years of project management experience, with proven success in systems/CRM projects.
• Deep expertise in Salesforce administration, configuration, and integration tools like MuleSoft or Zapier.
• Demonstrated RFP management skills, including vendor negotiations and contract lifecycle oversight.
• Proficiency in Agile/Scrum frameworks, with tools like Jira, Trello, or MS Project.
• Exceptional communication skills for bridging technical and business audiences.
• Strong analytical abilities for risk assessment, budgeting, and performance metrics.
