Project Manager (REMOTE)

Vision: We see a world where each individual understands their God-given mission in life and is doing their best to fulfill it; a world where Catholic leaders are influential voices in society; a world where Jesus' example of loving, servant leadership is modeled in every family, workplace, parish, and community.

Purpose: Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI) provides bishops, priests, deacons, religious, and lay persons in the Roman Catholic Church with world-class, pastoral leadership formation and consulting services that strengthen their confidence and competence in ministry, enabling them to articulate a vision for their local church, to call forth the gifts of those they lead, and to create more vibrant faith communities rooted in Jesus Christ.

Summary: The Project Manager supports a portfolio of projects across the organization to ensure timely and accurate delivery of internal and external projects, services, and grants, using appropriate project management and methodologies. The management of agreements from fulfillment to close will involve maintaining a project schedule, budget tracking, risk management, tracking any change orders, and ensuring quality communication across the project team. The Project Manager will work with the Director of Project Management to assess the health of assigned projects and report regular status updates to key stakeholders. The two roles will also work to ensure that any key communications, decision points, or issues are relayed to the appropriate parties within the organization.

The Project Manager is actively engaged with the Catholic Leadership Institute client delivery teams and internal support staff. S/he proactively communicates and meets regularly with project consultants and client services to ensure the health of assigned portfolios.
