Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate combines IT project coordination experience with strong financial management capabilities and a working understanding of Agile technology delivery.
This individual should be comfortable operating as the Product Manager's right hand, taking ownership of financial tracking, reporting, resource allocations, vendor invoices, and contract coordination.
Successful candidates will understand how technology delivery decisions affect budgets and forecasts, possess the analytical skills to maintain accurate financial records, and demonstrate the ability to work across Finance, IT, Product Management, and Supply Chain.
This is not a traditional administrative Project Coordinator position. The role requires hands-on financial management, strong attention to detail, and the ability to independently support technology investment decisions within a complex enterprise environment.
