IT Project Coordinator

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client in Westborough, MA that is seeking one to two temporary IT Project Coordinators for a 6-9 month engagement to support our Store Systems and IT leadership team during several high-priority initiatives. This role will provide execution and coordination support across multiple projects, including store system upgrades, infrastructure initiatives, and POS-related enhancements.

Overview:
The Project Coordinator will support planning, tracking, and communication for technology initiatives that impact field and store operations. Responsibilities include maintaining project documentation, coordinating meetings and schedules, updating project plans, and assisting with vendor and site coordination.

* Strong organizational and multitasking skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
* Proven ability to coordinate meetings, schedules, deliverables, and documentation

* Comfortable working with vendors and internal stakeholders while maintaining professionalism
* Ability to operate in a Waterfall project environment
* Clear, timely communication skills and attention to detail
* Ability to thrive in a fast-moving environment with changing priorities
* Proactive, dependable, and execution-focused
* Comfortable taking initiative after onboarding
* Positive attitude and professionalism during vendor or schedule challenges
* Strong planner and prioritizing with follow-through

Nice to Have:
* Exposure to retail, brick-and-mortar, or field-based technology projects
* Experience supporting POS upgrades, infrastructure projects, or large-scale deployments
* Familiarity with coordinating site work, installers, or hardware logistics
