What are IT contractors?

IT contractors are professionals who provide information technology services to businesses or organizations on a contract or project basis, rather than as permanent employees. They may specialize in areas such as software development, network administration, cybersecurity, or IT support. Contractors are typically hired for their specialized skills to complete specific projects, fill short-term staffing needs, or offer expert advice. Their contracts can range from a few weeks to several months or years, depending on the needs of the client. IT contractors often work through their own limited companies or as part of an agency.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an IT Contractor, and why are they important?

To thrive as an IT Contractor, you need strong technical expertise in your chosen field (such as networking, software development, or cybersecurity), typically backed by a relevant degree and industry certifications. Familiarity with project management tools, cloud platforms, and common software development environments or IT frameworks is often required. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and time management skills distinguish top performers in this role. These capabilities are crucial for delivering high-quality solutions on tight timelines and adapting quickly to client needs in a dynamic, project-based environment.

What are some common challenges faced by IT contractors when joining a new client project, and how can they be addressed?

IT contractors often encounter challenges such as adapting to unfamiliar technologies, quickly understanding the client's existing systems, and integrating with established teams. To overcome these, contractors should proactively communicate with team members, ask clarifying questions early on, and utilize any available documentation or onboarding resources. Building strong relationships and maintaining flexibility can also help contractors navigate organizational differences and deliver value efficiently.

IT Project Manager

Skyward IT Solutions, LLC

Washington, DC • Hybrid

$111K - $131K/yr

Full-time

Posted 3 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Support the Department of Transportation Office of the Chief Technology Officer to ensure the use of cost-effective and efficient technology to meet information needs.

  • Ensure the alignment of IT investments with the office's strategic goals and objectives.

  • Create, update, and maintain a modernization plan for existing IT systems, including scope, implementation strategy, schedule, goals, and measures.

Job description

We are Skyward.
 
That is, a love for people, for improvement, for human advancement through information technology. We are a people-centered business with a desire to serve others. We are diverse and unified; creative and collaborative; a collection of complementary, not competing talents. And though on the surface we remain relaxed, beneath, a torrent of energy links us to our civic tech mission.
 
We stand by our values, and we won’t compromise on any of them.
 
Integrity: We’re conscientious, intentional, and empathetic. Our words and actions align. That’s our character. Please don’t ask us to play another part, we’re poor actors.   
Compassionate: If we may borrow a quote from Theodore Roosevelt: “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” Because our team is thoughtful and supportive, caring deeply for each other, our clients, and our work, this comes naturally. 
Inquisitive: We remain students by failing openly and turning lessons into solutions.
Unconventional: For us, life isn’t what happens outside of work. Work happens inside of life and our culture erases the line often dividing the two.   
Authentic: Made possible only because we embody the values listed above. We’re relaxed and fun yet intensely curious and driven. Team members are placed with thought, care, and precision to ensure that Trust, Truth, and Transparency continue to represent our brand.
 
Because of that, we continue Onward, Upward, and Skyward.

We need a Senior Project Manager.

Do you listen to understand before formulating a response? Pick up on what’s left unsaid? Have a tight grasp on context? Write well? To be clear, we’re not looking for an author, but you should enjoy writing strategic plans, schedules, project requirements, and deliverables. And then writing new plans to follow up on those original plans. If we just described you, hit the apply button, like, now.

Let's go Skyward together.

What you'll do:
  • Support the Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of the Chief Technology Officer where you’ll ensure they are using the most cost-effective and efficient technology to meet current and future information needs.
  • Ensure the alignment of IT investments with the office’s strategic goals and objectives.
  • Create, update, and maintain a modernization plan for existing IT systems that includes scope, an implementation strategy, schedule, results-oriented goals, and measures.
  • Conduct analyses of previously implemented systems, ensuring each system is meeting customer and business needs, and identify areas for innovation.
What we'd like you to have:
  • At least 8 years of experience planning and executing software development projects.
  • 2-4 years of experience managing federal IT projects that include cloud-based applications.
  • Bachelor’s degree and PMP certification.
  • Agile certification (i.e., PMI-ACP, Certified Scrum Master, Certified Product Owner).
  • Experience with one or more different agile methodologies, including Scrum, Lean, or SAFe.
  • Experience managing matrixed teams and regularly working with senior IT leadership.
  • Experience documenting and writing things. (Did we mention this already?)
  • Experience using Jira and Confluence (you know, to document).
What would blow us away:
  • Your entire project management experience has been supporting various federal agencies.
  • You eat, sleep, and breathe IT project management methodologies.
And now the important part. What we offer you:
  • Medical, dental, vision insurance (fully paid for employees)
  • 15 days of paid leave
  • 7 days of sick leave
  • 2 days bereavement leave
  • 11 paid Federal holidays
  • Up to 40 hours for jury duty
  • 401K with 4% employer contribution (and no vesting period)
  • Up to 4 weeks of paid paternity and maternity leave
  • Company provided laptop
  • $5,000 per year for professional development
  • $600 per year for technical supplies and equipment
  • $2,000 referral bonus
  • Life and disability insurance
  • HSA and FSA
  • Legal Shield and ID Shield Voluntary Benefits
  • Opportunity to work in a collaborative, motivated team focused on modernizing government services with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions. Who says government work can't be exciting!

We believe great work deserves great pay. That’s why we ensure our compensation is not only competitive but also fair and transparent, as required by Maryland law. Expect a salary that matches your skills, experience, and the value you bring to the table — because you’re worth it!

At Skyward, we support flexible working hours and remote opportunities to help maintain a healthy work-life balance for all employees.
 
Offers of employment with Skyward are contingent upon acceptable results of a background investigation.
 
Applicants must have the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust security clearance due to the nature of our work as a government contractor.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
