Junior Project Manager ​/ Scrum Master

Larimer County Information Technology is seeking a collaborative, organized, and motivated Junior Project Manager / Scrum Master to join our Portfolio Management Office (PMO).

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about project management, enjoys working with people, and wants to build a career leading technology initiatives. In this role, you'll lead small to medium-sized IT projects while serving as a Scrum Master for Agile teams. You'll gain hands-on experience managing projects from initiation through closeout, facilitating Agile ceremonies, partnering with stakeholders across the organization, and delivering solutions that make a meaningful impact for Larimer County employees and the community.

You'll be part of a supportive PMO that values collaboration, continuous learning, and professional growth. Working alongside experienced Project Managers, Business Analysts, Organizational Change Managers, Product Owners, and technical teams, you'll receive mentorship while developing the skills needed to advance your project management career.

If you enjoy variety, building relationships, and helping teams succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
