JOB: Project Manager

Location : REMOTE but locals required - PA

Duration: Long Term

Only for PA Candidates***

The candidate must be able to meet and review documents/records at PHMC locations (300 & 400 North Street, Harrisburg, PA) on a regular basis. Does your candidate agree with this requirement?

The primary stakeholders of TEMMS include the Bureau of Historic Sites and Museums (BHSM) with 13 historical sites and museums that are jointly managed with non-profit groups called Associate Groups , The State Museum of Pennsylvania (SMOP), and the Bureau of Management Services (BMS).

The Project Manager (PM) will be responsible for overseeing the Ticketing and Event Management and Membership Software (TEMMS) process management initiatives agency wide.

Regarding TEMMS, the processing starts with a customer paying for a service. Services include, but are not limited to, purchasing an admission ticket, renting a facility for use, purchasing merchandise, buying a membership, gifting a donation, or attending a specialized event at a museum or historic site. Events vary based upon location and include seasonal events, special occasion events and festivals, and fundraisers. Most, but not all, of these transactions are recorded in the Point of Sale (POS) system. Each site has different services, prices, and processes.

In general, the workflow process of entering POS transactions to the method of depositing and distributing revenue (i.e., cash, checks, and credit card) between PHMC and Associate Groups appears convoluted and unorganized. Further, the soundness of maintaining records and retrieving information is disjointed and time consuming for purposes of reconciling discrepancies. This not only applies to fiscal reporting, but even reporting of other data sets like visitation, volunteer in-kind hours, and others.

This role will perform functions of project management, business analysis, organizational change management, vendor management, contract management and system administration. Key activities include, but are not limited to:
