Why This Role Is Worth a Look
\n
\n
This is a high visibility Project Manager role with a growing MSP that recently joined a larger private equity backed technology platform.
\n
\n
You will manage a diverse portfolio of client projects, partner directly with engineers and CIO level stakeholders, and help scale project management processes as the organization continues to grow.
\n
This is not a basic timeline tracking role. The right person needs to understand technical project delivery well enough to challenge scope, identify risk, push back when needed, and keep engineers, clients, and leadership aligned.
\n
\n
The Role at a Glance
\n
\n
You will manage approximately 20 active projects at a time across infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, Microsoft, networking, and client transformation initiatives.
\n
Projects may range from smaller deployments like switch installations to complex multi location initiatives involving application changes, global offices, executive stakeholders, and technical teams.
\n
\n
Today, the role supports one MSP brand. Over time, this person may have the opportunity to help oversee project management across a broader four company technology platform.
\n
\n
What You Will Own

• Manage technical projects from scoping through completion across multiple client environments
\n
• Coordinate resources across engineering, CIO services, client stakeholders, and internal leadership
\n
• Lead project resources including Senior Project Engineers and other technical contributors
\n
• Drive accountability from technical teams even when resources do not directly report to you
\n
• Review scopes, timelines, requirements, and assumptions to identify gaps before they become delivery issues
\n
• Push back professionally when a project is under scoped, under resourced, or misaligned with client expectations
\n
• Manage projects ranging from infrastructure deployments to complex business technology initiatives
\n
• Communicate project status, risks, blockers, next steps, and expectations clearly with all stakeholders
\n
• Help improve PM processes, project standards, handoffs, and delivery consistency as volume increases
\n
\n
