Project Manager - Product Initiatives
About the role
The Project Manager, Product Initiatives position owns delivery of Armstrong's product roadmap, from signed-off business requirements to launch. This role sits between Marketing & Strategy, Product, IT, Engineering, Field Operations and outside vendors. Product owners set the what and why; the Project Manager makes sure it gets done: plans are realistic, dependencies are visible, requirements stay current and launches land on the dates we commit to. You will run multiple initiatives at once across video, broadband, Wi-Fi, mobile and voice, many sharing the same constrained IT, vendor and field resources.
The Armstrong Group is a family owned and operated collection of diverse companies. What began in 1946 as Armstrong County Line Construction, founded by Jud L. Sedwick in Kittanning, PA, has now grown into an organization that encompasses multiple industries and employs over 2,400 individuals nationwide. Our brands include Armstrong Utilities, Guardian Protection, Armstrong Development, 4Front Solutions, Twin Pops, and Armstrong Comfort Solutions.
Responsibilities
- Portfolio and project delivery: Keep the product initiatives roadmap as the single source of truth: owner, dependencies, constraints, milestones and status for every initiative.
- Build and maintain project plans for each initiative, with clear scope, milestones, owners and go/no-go criteria.
- Map and manage dependencies across projects, e.g. pricing alignment before a new product introduction.
- Plan around company moratoriums (holiday and Super Bowl change freezes) and flag conflicts early.
- Secure and schedule shared resources (IT, provisioning, billing, network engineering, field technicians) and escalate when capacity puts dates at risk.
- Coordinate vendors and any third-party partners on deliverables, contracts, inventory and release timelines.
- Run launch readiness: training, care and sales scripts, marketing handoffs, pilots
