We’re seeking a junior-level Project Manager to support cross-department initiatives for a statewide organization. This role will assist with projects across Marketing, IT, Operations, and other business units. While not a highly technical position, the ideal candidate is comfortable supporting technology-driven projects, modernization efforts, and process improvement initiatives. This role is well-suited for someone early in their PM career who is organized, communicative, and eager to grow.

What You’ll Do

• Support the coordination of multiple projects, including process improvement, modernization efforts, and cross-functional operational initiatives.

• Assist with requirements gathering, meeting facilitation, task tracking, and documentation across technical and non-technical teams.

• Monitor project timelines, risks, and action items, escalating issues as needed to maintain forward progress.

• Communicate regularly with stakeholders to provide updates and help ensure alignment on priorities and expectations.

• Maintain project plans, schedules, status reports, and supporting documentation for leadership review.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–3 years of project coordination or project management experience in a professional environment.

• Clear, professional communication skills and the ability to work comfortably with a variety of stakeholders.

• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and follow-through.

• A proactive mindset with the ability to identify potential risks, gaps, or dependencies.

• Exposure to operational or technology-related projects such as system upgrades, process changes, or application rollouts.

• Public sector or government experience is a plus but not required.

• Familiarity with PM tools such as Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira, Confluence, or similar.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting system modernization or process improvement initiatives.

• Basic understanding of change management concepts.

• General awareness of IT fundamentals such as applications, integrations, or data flows.
