Cross-Team Coordination
    •    Partner closely with internal IT teams, vendors, and project managers.

    •    Provide documentation, updates, and clear communication throughout each project.

Other Responsibilities

    •    Contribute to improving deployment templates and playbooks.
    •    Support process improvements across the engineering and operations teams.

Required Qualifications:

    •    Ability to manage 10+ active projects with autonomy.

    •    Exposure to Citrix environments (a plus).
    •    Networking knowledge (switch stacks, VLANs, routing, firewalls).
    •    Industry certifications such as Network+, CCNA, or Microsoft certifications.

Work Environment:
    •    100% remote role with travel to practice locations across the U.S.
