Project Coordinator JIra

Frisco, TX or Farmington Hills, MI (2 days onsite a week required)

It's a Project Coordinator that requires JIRA expertise to set up new projects from scratch. This is for Comerica's new ECPMO. So Coordinators with extensive experience who can also run their own small projects are the target along with the JIRA focus.

Note this is all Waterfall. Comerica is setting up the ECPMO because technology was just doing whatever with the projects. So they might be averse to heavy Agilests like AGILE Dev Leads, Scrum Masters and coaches.
