    Job Description

    A growing Managed Services Provider based in Douglasville, PA is seeking a Junior IT Project Manager to join its delivery team.

    This position is a strong fit for someone coming out of a Customer Success, Account Management, or Project Coordinator role who is ready to take the next step into formal project management within a technical environment. You do not need to be deeply technical, but you should be comfortable working alongside engineers and translating project status into clear, business-friendly communication for clients. The ideal candidate is organized, proactive, and takes genuine pride in delivering a great client experience.

    The organization is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are treated equitably and with respect.

    Experience maintaining project documentation, timelines, or status reports

    Comfortable facilitating meetings, calls, and check-ins with clients and internal teams

    Highly organized with strong attention to detail and consistent follow-through

    Ability to identify issues early, escalate appropriately, and keep projects on track

    A collaborative team player who can also work independently with minimal supervision

    Proficiency with productivity tools such as Microsoft 365, Teams, and project tracking platforms

    Desired Skills & Experience

    Prior experience working at or with a Managed Services Provider or technology company

    Exposure to IT project types such as network deployments, cloud migrations, Microsoft 365 rollouts, or hardware refreshes

    Familiarity with project management methodologies such as Waterfall or Agile/Scrum

    Experience using project management tools such as Asana, Monday.com, ConnectWise Manage, or similar

    Understanding of basic IT concepts including networking, endpoints, servers, and cloud environments

    CAPM, CompTIA Project+, or working toward a PMP certification is a plus

    Experience creating client-facing project plans, status updates, and post-project summaries

    What You Will Be Doing

    Managing day-to-day execution of client IT projects, including scheduling, task tracking, resource coordination, and milestone management

    Serving as the primary point of contact for clients throughout the project lifecycle, providing regular status updates and proactively addressing concerns

    Coordinating internal resources including engineers, technicians, and third-party vendors to ensure timely project delivery

    Maintaining accurate and up-to-date project documentation including scopes of work, project plans, risk logs, and meeting notes

    Facilitating project kickoff calls, status meetings, and closeout reviews with clients and internal stakeholders

    Identifying and escalating project risks, blockers, and scope changes in a timely manner

    Supporting the transition from project completion to ongoing managed services by coordinating handoffs to the service delivery and account management teams
