Job Search Report — 2026-05-19

Date: 2026-05-19 Cadence: Daily Scope: O*NET codes 13-1082.00, 11-3021.00, 11-9199.00, 11-3051.00 | Target employers near 55082 | CareerOneStop general scan

Summary

Slow scan day. No major new openings at target employers — most PM/program manager roles remain the same Wells Fargo Business Execution Consultant positions that have been sitting for weeks. Several previously tracked roles confirmed closed (US Bank PM roles continue to evaporate, Xcel Energy pulled both tracked IT roles, Medtronic pulled its Principal IT PM listing). One notable new listing: Optum Director, Technical Project Management (remote, Eden Prairie) appeared in the last 1–2 days with 162 applicants. Xcel Energy has two new IT roles (Project Manager II and IT Manager ServiceNow) but neither are strong PM/GRC fits. Overall, the Twin Cities PM market remains flat — the same roles are cycling without much fresh inventory.

Market Trend Note

Market remains flat. The same Wells Fargo Business Execution Consultant roles (027, 028, 029, 030, 032, 033) have been cycling for 3+ weeks with no movement. US Bank PM/GRC roles continue to evaporate — virtually all previously tracked US Bank roles now return 410 Gone. Xcel Energy pulled both IT PM roles and replaced them with a general PM II and a ServiceNow-specific role, neither of which are strong fits. The only fresh signal this scan is the Optum Director, Technical PM (remote, Eden Prairie) — a director-level role at $135K–$231K that aligns well with the target role family. That said, 162 applicants in ~1 day indicates heavy competition. Overall, the Twin Cities PM/GRC market is in a holding pattern — limited new inventory, high applicant volume on anything decent.
