Job description
About Gov Ops

During the City’s response to and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen firsthand how some of the City’s core operational processes could be improved. This includes contracting and procurement, where the City’s processes can be complex, time-consuming, and resource-intensive for both City staff and suppliers.

In April 2022, the City Administrator’s Office, Controller’s Office, and Department of Human Resources came together to launch the Government Operations Recovery Initiative (Gov Ops), a special initiative aimed at addressing staff shortages, contracting backlogs, and financial system challenges that make it difficult to operate effectively and efficiently. Under this initiative, the three offices are creating project teams to serve as project managers, subject-matter-experts, and business analysts to plan and manage complex projects to streamline processes related to hiring, procurement and financial operations.

The Contract Reform Team

This Project Manager will join the Gov Ops Contracts Reform team under the City Administrator’s Office. Our team works on special projects that help reduce administrative burden and lower barriers to participating in public procurement opportunities to advance the City’s equitable contracting goals.

While this core team is small, the team works in close partnership with a number of other City departments and divisions who are involved in procurement and contracting, including but not limited to the Office of Contract Administration (OCA), the Contract Monitoring Division (CMD), the Department of Technology (DT), the Controller’s Office (CON), and contracts managers and analysts from around the City.

In our work, we strive to be dynamic and responsive to City staff and supplier needs, and we are guided by the key questions such as:
• How do we build better systems while minimizing unintended consequences and any potential adverse effects of change and transitions?
• How do we orient our work around the challenges that small, local businesses and community providers face to ultimately lower barriers to accessing public procurement opportunities for all?
• How do we balance a bold vision for the future with practicality and feasibility?

Job Description

As a Project Manager with our team, you will lead our data, technology, and systems portfolio to improve the City’s procurement and contracting processes and support our supplier community. The procurement technology landscape in the City is decentralized, with many departments supporting their own systems and managing related business processes.
