Job Search Report — 2026-04-27

Date: 2026-04-27 Cadence: Daily Scope: Program Manager, PMO, Technology Risk, IT Manager, GRC roles near 55082 / Twin Cities metro + remote-eligible defense contractors. Target employers: U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Thrivent, Xcel Energy, Medtronic, 3M, Target, Boston Scientific, UnitedHealth/Optum, Leidos, Booz Allen, SAIC, Accenture Federal, Washington County MN.

Summary

Market remains slow but steady this Monday. No blockbuster new openings. The biggest change is two confirmed closures — 3M AI Project Manager (034) is now confirmed closed (simplify.jobs INACTIVE, breakroom listing removed), and U.S. Bank Retail Project Manager & Governance Lead returned 410 Gone. The Xcel Energy Manager IT (Operations Delivery Program Manager) that appeared in search results is also 404/closed — it may have been posted and pulled very quickly. On the positive side, Medtronic Operations Business Process Program Manager (024) appears to have been reposted (BuiltIn shows "Reposted 3 days ago"), and several Wells Fargo and Boston Scientific roles remain active. A new 3M Large Capital Project Manager/Program Manager listing appeared this week (~April 20) but is domain-specialist (capital/construction engineering). One notable new find: Lumen Senior Lead Project Manager – Public Sector in Saint Paul (federal contracting, clearance-adjacent). Also new: 3M Director, Decision Science & AI/ML at $266K–$325K (onsite Maplewood) — comp is strong but the role is IC/data science leadership, not PM/GRC track.

Market Trend Note

Same roles still sitting. The market this week is stagnant — the same Wells Fargo Business Execution Consultant roles (027-030, 032, 033) have been circulating since mid-April with no movement, suggesting either slow hiring cycles or these are long-term rolling postings. U.S. Bank continues to churn through PM/risk roles quickly (most close within 2-5 days of appearing). Boston Scientific and Medtronic roles are steady. No new defense/federal contractor PM roles appeared this scan — Leidos, Booz Allen, and SAIC listings are all in DC/Virginia markets, not remote-eligible for MN. The Xcel Energy pipeline has gone completely dry — both tracked roles are now closed with no replacements.

Key action items:

  • 034 (3M AI Project Manager) confirmed closed — remove from active tracking
  • 035 (U.S. Bank Group Program Manager) likely closed — verify and mark accordingly
  • Monitor the Lumen and Optum Director leads for verification next scan
  • Wells Fargo Business Execution cluster (027-030, 032-033) — still worth watching but appears to be slow-cycle
