Junior IT Project Manager

A growing Managed Services Provider based in Douglasville, PA is seeking a Junior IT Project Manager to join its delivery team.

The ideal candidate is organized, proactive, and takes genuine pride in delivering a great client experience.

The organization is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are treated equitably and with respect.
