Required Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or equivalent experience. • 3–5+ years of experience managing technical projects, with at least 2 years in an MSP, VAR, or IT services provider environment. • Strong understanding of core IT infrastructure concepts such as Windows Server, Active Directory, networking, firewalls, Microsoft 365, and common MSP toolsets (RMM/PSA). • Proven experience managing multiple concurrent client projects with competing priorities in a ticket‑ and SLA‑driven environment. • Demonstrated proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Jira, ClickUp, Asana, or MS Project) and standard productivity tools (e.g., Excel, PowerPoint, Visio). • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and client‑facing skills, with the ability to translate technical topics into business language. • Strong organizational, analytical, and problem‑solving skills, with a track record of driving issues to resolution. Preferred Qualifications • Project management certification such as PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile/Scrum credentials. • Hands‑on background in systems, networking, cloud, or similar technical role within an MSP. • Experience with onboarding new MSP clients and executing migration projects (e.g., M365, server/network refreshes, cloud migrations). • Familiarity with ITIL practices and service delivery processes in managed services.
