Project Manager (Entry Level)
We are a growing company, and a successful candidate will become an integral part of our business-development strategy. We seek applicants with superb organizational skills, a knack for self-management, and the ability to learn quickly on the job. The ideal candidate will display the commitment and dedication necessary to guide complex, unique projects from start to finish, as well as the capacity to take ownership of tasks and proactively manage all resources involved. No direct project management experience is necessary as we will teach you what you need to know about our specific type of project management. We do however require that candidates possess basic/intermediate knowledge of key IT concepts (i.e. servers, switches, routers, firewalls). This position is optimal for a self-starter who enjoys being challenged and wants to develop a broad IT-management skillset. Our company and its clients contain a range of cultures, backgrounds, and personalities, so a talent for tact, diplomacy, and interpersonal relations is essential.
