Contract Project Manager – ATS Implementation

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the end-to-end implementation of new Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

This is a fast-paced, high-visibility project with no formal vendor implementation team. You will partner directly with the Head of Talent Attraction, HR, IT, and key business stakeholders to drive every phase of the rollout.

We’re looking for a hands-on, highly structured PM who thrives in ambiguity, understands HR technology integrations, and can confidently drive execution, accountability, and follow-through.

Key Responsibilities

Project Leadership & Planning

Own the full Jobvite implementation plan (scope, milestones, critical path, success metrics)
Lead governance cadence including workstream meetings, decision logs, RAID logs, and RACI ownership
Provide clear written and verbal updates to executive sponsors

Risk, Issues & Dependencies

Proactively identify risks and roadblocks across HR, IT, security, and recruiting teams
Maintain RAID logs with mitigation plans and ownership
Escalate blockers with solutions and recommendations

Integrations & Data Model Design

Partner with HRIS and IT teams to define integrations (HRIS, background checks, assessments, reporting, SSO)
Design and implement parent/child recruiting data structures (requisition hierarchies, job families, campaign models)
Ensure data design supports reporting, compliance, and long-term governance

Configuration, Process & Documentation

Oversee Jobvite configurations (workflows, templates, forms, permissions, approvals, offers)
Redesign recruiting processes (current → future state)
Develop and maintain documentation including:
Business & functional requirements
Process maps & SOPs
Configuration specs
Integration documentation
Data migration & cutover planning (from Greenhouse)

Training, UAT & Change Management

Develop training materials for recruiters, hiring managers, and HR
Lead UAT planning, scripts, defect tracking, and sign-offs
Support go-live planning, communications, and adoption strategy

What You Bring

Required

3–5 years of project management experience, including HR technology or ATS implementations
Proven experience leading complex, multi-system HRIS/ATS integrations
Strong project planning, dependency management, and risk mitigation skills
Experience driving cross-functional accountability in matrixed environments
Strong documentation skills (BRDs, FRDs, SOPs, process flows, training materials)
Excellent communication skills and ability to simplify complex topics
Comfortable operating with limited vendor support

Preferred

Direct experience implementing Jobvite or other enterprise ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Workday Recruiting, iCIMS, Lever)
Experience in Talent Acquisition or HR environments
Knowledge of hierarchical data models and recruiting governance structures
Experience with data migration, data quality, and UAT best practices
PMP, Scrum Master, or Agile certification

Why This Role?

This is a high-impact opportunity to own a full ATS transformation from strategy through go-live. You will play a critical role in shaping recruiting operations, system design, and long-term data governance.
