• You have coordinated or managed IT projects.
• You manage dependencies across clients, engineers, vendors and business stakeholders.
• You write clear status updates and run tight meetings.
• You understand how Microsoft 365, network, endpoint and backup projects actually go.

How hiring works

On the first call, expect to talk through questions like these:
