Remote Project Management Jobs in Oklahoma (NOW HIRING)

Project Manager (6 Month Contract)
A division of Harris; Systems & Software - Winooski, VT/Remote

Systems and Software (www.ssivt.com), a division of Harris Computer Systems, is a software development company headquartered in Winooski, VT. S&S's single focus is on delivering horizontally and vertically scalable customer service solutions to the utility industry. Our reputation is one of market-leading software, exceptional solution delivery, and a customer-focused organization.

For a utility, a Customer Information System (CIS) is more than just a collection of records, it's a lifeline between the utility and its most important asset, its customers. From turn-on to move-out, no other system will have the impact on the customer experience that the CIS does, so ensuring that this solution offers the breadth of scope and responsiveness that modern consumers require is a critical priority. Through our flagship product, enQuesta, S&S meets this need for our electric, water, sewer and gas customers by combining an intuitive design with powerful technology. The enQuesta solution not only presents a modern, innovative face for the utility to the end customers, but also enables the utilities to take advantage of the solution's open architecture when developing future programs and initiatives.

This remote role welcomes candidates anywhere in Canada and the US. This opportunity can be performed remotely or from our office in Winooski, VT. Travel, depending on the project(s) could be as high as 75%.
