  • Network infrastructure projects
  • Hardware refreshes and lifecycle management

  • Track project timelines, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables.
  • Facilitate communication between infrastructure, network engineering, and business stakeholders.
  • Schedule and coordinate maintenance windows, implementation activities, and status meetings.
  • Maintain project documentation, action items, risk logs, and project reporting.
  • Assist with change management processes and implementation tracking.
  • Monitor progress against critical October remediation deadlines.
  • Escalate risks, blockers, and resource constraints as needed.
  • Support multiple workstreams across a large enterprise infrastructure.
Work Environment
  • Remote opportunity.
  • DFW-area candidates are preferred and may have the option to work periodically from local office space when collaboration is beneficial.
  • Candidates working remotely should demonstrate strong self-management skills and the ability to operate independently with limited supervision.
