Description

About Colorado 811 

Colorado 811 is a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to public safety and underground damage prevention across Colorado. Our work helps protect people, infrastructure, communities, and essential services by supporting clear communication between public utility providers and excavators before excavation begins. We operate in a technology-enabled environment where reliable systems, strong coordination, and disciplined execution are critical to serving our members, excavators, stakeholders, and the public.

Why Choose Colorado 811

At Colorado 811, technical project management is more than timelines and task tracking—it is about helping teams deliver work that supports safety, reliability, and statewide service. This role offers the chance to bring senior-level PM expertise to a major technology and operations initiative, work directly with executive leadership, and shape practical systems that improve how teams plan, communicate, report, and deliver results. For a project leader who enjoys building structure from the ground up and seeing their work create lasting impact, this is a meaningful opportunity.

Mission with meaning: Your work will support Colorado’s underground damage prevention, public safety, and reliable service across Colorado.
Executive visibility: You will work with senior leaders as well as team members on all levels of the organization, and help create the governance, reporting, and decision-making structures for a high-priority initiative.
Builder role, not just coordinator: You will create workflows, dashboards, project structures, documentation, and accountability systems that help teams work better long after the project is complete.
Purpose and stability: This full-time W2 project-based role offers a defined, high-impact initiative with the time, benefits, and executive support needed to build lasting systems, with potential extension beyond the initial project term.

Position Overview

Colorado 811 is seeking a Senior Enterprise Project & Technology Transformation Manager to lead a high-priority, multi-phase technology and operations initiative. We are looking for an experienced project leader who brings technical project management discipline, management consulting skills, advanced hands-on platform experience in Monday.com and Jira, and the drive to keep complex cross-departmental work on track and on time.

The Senior Enterprise Project & Technology Transformation Manager will serve as the main point of contact for the engagement and will be responsible for day-to-day delivery. This role serves as both a strategic advisor and a hands-on builder—designing project structures from the ground up, creating the implementation plan and related project management artifacts, building scalable workflows, developing an integrated project plan, managing dependencies, coordinating stakeholders and external vendors, producing executive-ready reporting, and driving disciplined execution against approved milestones and deadlines. The successful candidate must be able to translate complex technical work into clear plans, highlight risks, recommend practical decisions, and provide actionable updates for executives, directors, vendors, and internal teams.

Why This Role Matters

This is a high-visibility opportunity to lead a 24-month technology and operations initiative that will strengthen how Colorado 811 plans, governs, reports, and delivers complex work. The Senior Technical Project Manager will create the structure, tools, workflows, and accountability systems needed to keep cross-departmental teams aligned and moving forward.

Core Launch Build

A scalable project operating model that keeps cross-departmental teams aligned, accountable, and moving toward shared milestones.
An integrated project plan that connects program governance, workstreams, milestones, dependencies, stakeholder accountability, executive reporting, and risk, issue, and decision management into one clear execution framework.

Executive dashboards, status reporting structures, risk registers, decision logs, and milestone reporting that create clear visibility for leadership.
Monday.com and Jira structures that support reliable execution, practical adoption, and consistent reporting across technical and non-technical teams.
A vendor, budget, risk, and dependency tracking framework that helps leaders identify issues early, manage cost, and make informed decisions.
Documentation, playbooks, and knowledge-transfer materials that support long-term continuity after the initial project work is complete.

Who Will Thrive Here

You will thrive in this role if you enjoy creating order from complexity, working across departments, communicating clearly with executives and other teams, and turning broad goals into structured plans that get completed. This is a high-trust role with significant autonomy to design the project operating model, surface risks early, keep teams aligned, manage cost, and help leaders make informed decisions.
