Senior Technical Project Manager

About Jessup IT

Jessup IT is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager. Dentists, insurance agents and law offices make up most of the client list. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

About the role

• Run kickoffs, weekly status meetings and steering committee updates.

• Proficiency with Jira, Smartsheet, MS Project or similar tools.
• Experience with both Agile and waterfall delivery.
