Your Department    

The IT Department creates and implements the IT strategy and systems supporting the organization's mission and objectives. We ensure that AJC’s infrastructure serves the computing, data management, and communication needs of more than 300 employees on four continents.

Your Impact    

As IT Program & Enablement Manager, you play a central role in ensuring that AJC’s technology initiatives are aligned, visible, and actively advancing the organization’s mission. Working closely with the CIO and IT Management, this is a CIO-reporting position and operates based on CIO priorities to ensure focus across competing demands. By orchestrating work across applications, infrastructure, data, and emerging capabilities, you help prevent critical efforts from stalling or falling through the cracks. In addition to coordination, this role directly contributes to execution by enabling teams to adopt modern tools, automate processes, and leverage AI-enabled workflows, empowering staff to work more effectively and collaboratively.

Your Role    

• Coordinate and support a portfolio of concurrent IT initiatives across applications, data, infrastructure, security, and process transformation, ensuring clear visibility into timelines, dependencies, risks, and priorities—and proactively helping teams navigate and mitigate those risks and dependencies.
• Serve as a shared program and project management resource across IT, helping leaders plan work, track progress, surface capacity constraints, and align efforts across teams.
• Operate as a shared resource supporting both the CIO and IT Management, with priorities set and sequenced based on CIO direction to ensure focus and alignment across competing demands.
• Maintain a consolidated view of active initiatives and incoming requests, facilitate regular prioritization check-ins with the CIO and IT Management, and escalate capacity and trade-off decisions as needed.
• Support IT operational planning and management processes, including annual and in-year work planning, OKRs, and tracking progress against key deliverables and commitments.
• Provide administrative and business management support across IT as needs arise, including invoice processing, budget development and tracking, and coordinating contract and licensing renewals in partnership with IT leadership and Procurement/Finance.
• Support messaging, change communications, and adoption efforts around IT initiatives and developments, including drafting and coordinating staff-facing announcements and stakeholder updates, coordinating basic readiness/training activities, and capturing feedback for continuous improvement.
• Prepare and maintain project artifacts such as status updates, dashboards, agendas, meeting notes, and follow-up tracking to ensure accountability and momentum.
• Partner closely with internal stakeholders and vendors to support planning, execution, and delivery of IT initiatives from initiation through completion.
• Be hands-on with selected technologies and initiatives, including Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Teams, Excel, OneDrive), low-code and automation platforms (e.g., Microsoft Power Platform), and AI-enabled tools and workflows such as Copilot.
• Act as an execution partner on defined initiatives, supporting technology rollouts, migrations, training, adoption, and process improvement through direct involvement, not only coordination.
• Support learning and enablement efforts by helping teams understand and effectively use new tools, platforms, and workflows.
• Develop and update IT documentation—including policies, procedures, standards, and operational playbooks—to support consistent execution, knowledge sharing, and continuity.
• Demonstrate flexibility and adaptability as responsibilities evolve over time based on organizational priorities, team capacity, and individual strengths.
