• Facilitate effective communication across stakeholders, including technical teams, vendors, and leadership.

• Experience managing projects involving network engineering, server environments, or hardware refreshes.
• Familiarity with IT purchasing and vendor coordination strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to manage detailed task plans, monitor progress, and proactively address obstacles to maintain momentum.
