Project Manager

About the role

The Project Manager is a core member of SECC's Project Management Team (PMT), a dedicated team within the Operations Division committed to ensuring SECC's most important initiatives are scoped, planned, resourced, and executed with excellence.

Responsibilities

• Own the full project lifecycle for assigned system-wide operational, technology, and facilities projects — from charter through formal closure.
• Conduct structured discovery sessions using the PMT's 21 Discovery Questions to define scope, identify stakeholders, surface risks, and build a signed Project Charter before work begins.
• Build and maintain detailed project plans — ensuring every task has one owner, a due date, and a current status visible to all stakeholders at any time.
• Run weekly project check-ins with owners and stakeholders, surfacing blockers before they become critical.
• Provide accurate, honest Red/Yellow/Green project status reports to the Leader of Operations on a bi-weekly basis.
• Log and manage all scope change requests through the formal PMT change control process — no quiet 'yes.'
• Identify and escalate resource conflicts, unresolved risks, and leadership decisions needed before they stall progress.
• Support campus-specific project coordination as needed, ensuring campus-level constraints (staffing, scheduling, local ministry calendars) are reflected in project timelines.
• Participate in project closure processes — capturing lessons learned, updating relevant templates, and archiving completed projects.
• Serve as a trusted, collaborative partner to Ministry Leaders, Campus Pastors, and Operations staff — bringing expertise, not oversight.
• Contribute to PMT framework development, including templates, intake processes, and Monday.com workspace improvements.
• Performs all other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of project management or project coordination experience, with demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail — the ability to track many moving parts without dropping anything.
• Experience with Monday.com, Asana, Workfront, or similar project management platforms required.
• Clear written and verbal communicator — able to translate complex project status into straightforward updates for senior leaders.
• Collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.
• Comfortable working across multiple campuses and ministry areas, building relationships with diverse teams.
• Familiarity with hybrid project management methodology (Waterfall phase gates + Agile execution principles) preferred.
• PMP certification, CAPM, or active pursuit preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Operations, Project Management, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.

Qualifications

• Engaged member of Southeast Christian Church, or willing to become one.
• Models staff values: Honor, Care, Accountability, Grit, Authenticity, Humility, and Fun.
• Lives out staff expectations of groups, inviting, serving, worship, and giving.
• Agree with the Statement of Faith, submit to the leadership established by the church, and lives out our church Mantras in tangible ways.
