Offering the excitement of a start-up with the support and stability of a national company, this position will oversee the design and development of a variety of Web/e-commerce applications and services as they move from client concept to launch. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to work with a team of highly versatile and talented project managers, developers and designers and will be responsible for managing the design and development of new leading edge web services, sites and mobile applications.

While the best qualified candidates will have real world project management skills we are open to developing bright self-starters. Strong communication and writing skills are a must. Familiarity with Web applications and Internet technology is desired, a strong work ethic, patience and dedication to success is expected. Our team members are self-motivated professionals who enjoy the challenge of implementing project management and business solutions in a high-pressure, client-services entrepreneurial environment.

Who we are:
Our growing Salem team is dynamic, energetic and brings a wealth of experience from NIC partners in other states as well as other companies.

To do this we need a rock star project manager to keep the hundreds of moving parts going full steam ahead in perfect unison.

People often say that Government should serve its constituents more like businesses serve their customers. At NIC, we make that ideal a reality by removing technology as a barrier and helping government engage with citizens in a meaningful way online twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

The Oregon Information Division, a Salem-based subsidiary of eGovernment firmNIC(NASDAQ: EGOV), is a leading eGovernment/eCommerce company that helps Oregon government entities Web-enable their information services. We are a premier provider of Internet-based, electronic government services that help government entities use the Internet to reduce costs and provide a higher level of service to businesses and citizens. We contract with governments and design, build and operate Internet-based portals on their behalf. We build websites, web and mobile applications for government portals allowing businesses and citizens to access information and complete transactions such as applying for permits or renewing licenses online. NIC’s unique business model allows us to reduce our government clients' financial and technology risks and obtain revenue by sharing in the fees generated by electronic services.

Our government clients benefit from a centralized, manageable, customer-focused presence on the Internet. Businesses and citizens benefit from faster, more convenient and cost-effective interactions with government.
