Nspired Tech Solutions · Chicago, Illinois
INFQ)
INFQ) is a quantum technology company headquartered in the Boulder, Colorado area, commercializing atomic clocks, quantum sensing, and quantum computing for commercial and government customers. Newly public, PhD-dense organization, and scaling fast — with the enterprise-systems buildout that comes with that arc. You'll be engaged as a contractor through Nspired Tech Solutions, the IT consulting partner standing up the company's project execution capability, and you'll work directly with the IT leader as your day-to-day sponsor— a senior enterprise CIO heading the buildout.
The Opportunity
Hands-on IT project manager who delivers compliance, business-systems, and IT projects for a lean team. You own the plan, the follow-ups and the status, and you flag risk early.
Nspired is recruiting a hands-on IT Project Manager for a public quantum technology company with offices in Louisville, Colorado, and Chicago. The IT team is lean and hands-on, with no PMO. This role delivers the CIO's priority projects across compliance, business systems, and IT operations — you'll own a portfolio of projects end to end, and the mix will shift as priorities do. This is an IT delivery role, separate from the client's subcontracts or program-management openings.
About the Role
Twelve months from now, you will have driven a slate of high-priority systems and compliance readiness initiatives to completion in parallel. This will be the compliance foundation for a high-visibility government contractor experiencing high growth. In other words, this is a role for someone who builds.
The kinds of projects you'll lead:
SOX IT controls and audit readiness
— access and change-management controls, service-management workflows that produce audit evidence, and remediation tracking with control owners
NetSuite and business systems
— intake, access governance, segregation of duties, testing and release management for business applications
Government compliance
— CUI handling, NIST 800-171 / CMMC work and secure-environment projects, coordinated with security and legal
IT projects with engineering and R&D
— endpoint, software and infrastructure requests from technical teams
Tool evaluations and vendors
— real selection criteria (usability, compliance, vendor quotes, implementation effort and timeline), and holding implementation partners to dates
Policies and documentation
— keeping IT and security policies current through review and sign-off
What You'll Own:
Run program-level orchestration across those workstreams — integrated roadmap, cross-workstream dependency management, and unified status and risk reporting to executive stakeholders
Decompose a broad compliance mandate into discrete, parallel workstreams with clear scope, owners, sequencing, and dependencies
Drive SOX readiness workstreams end-to-end — control documentation, gap assessment, remediation tracking, and audit preparation
Lead government/regulatory compliance readiness initiatives in partnership with Legal and IT
Interview process and control owners across Finance, IT, and Operations; document current state and close documentation gaps
Produce the documentation, process maps, control narratives, SOPs, and other supporting compliance deliverables
Build and run the program structure — plans, status cadence, risk/issue tracking — that keeps readiness work visible and moving
Get hands-on with systems: understand access models, workflows, and data flows well enough to document and test controls yourself
Leverage technology and AI to streamline the work — automating evidence collection, accelerating documentation, and building lightweight tooling instead of throwing hours at manual processes
Coordinate internal teams and external auditors/consultants supporting compliance efforts
Establish repeatable compliance practices the company can carry forward
How you'll work:
Work the CIO's priority list first; raise risk early, with options and a recommendation
Run a short weekly status that leadership doesn't have to chase: done, at risk, what you need
Bring stakeholders a clear position with an owner and a date — not a list of open concerns
Check what already exists (contracts, prior work) before starting something new
Use AI tools to move faster; nothing goes out without your own review
What success looks like:
First 30 days:
every active project mapped with its owner, real status and next date
First 90 days:
delivering against an agreed plan, with audit evidence on time
Ongoing:
auditors, finance and engineering trust the dates you give
What We're Looking For:
7+ years delivering IT projects hands-on, from plan to handover
Delivered compliance, audit-readiness or security remediation (SOX ITGC, PCI, NIST, CMMC or similar) through at least one external audit
A concrete example of raising risk early and driving a decision
Program-level experience — you’ve structured and run multiple concurrent workstreams under one umbrella, not a sequence of single projects, and built that structure from an unstructured starting point
Senior-level project management experience in IT, compliance, or regulated environments
Comfortable working in the tools as they are, deferring to specialists, and running without coordinator support
Technical enough to be dangerous: you can read a system, understand an access model, and draft an ITGC narrative without an engineer holding your hand
A builder's instinct for efficiency — you use modern tools (including AI) to compress documentation, evidence, and tracking work, not just manage it manually
Comfortable in ambiguity: you build structure where none exists, and you're as happy interviewing a process owner as you are updating a control matrix
Strong cross-functional communication — Finance, Legal, IT, and executives
U.S. person (citizen or green-card holder)
Preferred:
Government Contractor experience is a strong plus
Familiarity with federal/government compliance frameworks is a strong plus
PMP, CSM, or comparable delivery credential
SOX IT change management
NetSuite or other ERP delivery
CMMC, NIST 800-171, CUI or ITAR
Freshservice or ServiceNow, and Jira
Why This Role:
Ground-floor compliance program build at a company at a genuine inflection point — public-company obligations, fast growth, real stakes
Direct access to leadership; your work is visible and consequential
Strong likelihood of contract extension or conversion for the right person
This probably isn't for you if:
You want to run a PMO or manage other project managers
You'd rather facilitate ceremonies than own deliverables
You need a fully defined scope before you start
Engagement:
Structure: full-time hours, contract through Nspired Tech Solutions; 6-month initial term with extension and contract-to-hire potential
Start: Targeting November 2026
