Demand for HR technology and transformation focused PMs remains strong, particularly candidates who pair PPM tool fluency (Smartsheet/Planview) with HRIS or payroll implementation exposure. Remote flexibility is a real differentiator here versus fully onsite competitor postings in this market. Main headwind: the combined bar of 7+ years overall PM experience plus 5+ years specifically in HR/HRIS transformation narrows the pool meaningfully, and the July 31 shortlist date is tight for sourcing at this seniority level.Boolean Search String(project manager OR program manager) AND (portfolio OR PPM OR transformation OR HRIS OR governance OR compensation OR benefits OR payroll OR change OR stakeholder OR communications) AND (smartsheet OR planview OR PMP OR vendor)
