Visa sponsorship is not available for this position, now or in the future. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis without requiring employer sponsorship. Our company has grown rapidly through acquisition. 14 companies have joined our organization over the past five years, and many continue to operate with their own legacy tools, network hardware, and processes.

We're looking for a Technical Project Specialist to take ownership of our active IT project backlog and drive it to completion. This is a project-execution role, not a helpdesk or ticket-queue role. You will not be pulled into day-to-day support tickets. Your job is to live inside our project management system, own a defined set of technical initiatives (network installs, system audits, tool consolidations, and merger integration work), and move them from "To Do" to "Done."

You'll follow documented plans and standards, coordinate with vendors and stakeholders, and escalating technical design decisions to the Head of IT rather than making them solo. If you're someone who thrives on structure, likes checking things off a project plan, and wants hands-on technical work without being the person who designs the architecture, this role is built for you.

• Execute the Cloudflare DNS security audit and support domain consolidation across legacy company domains
• Support consolidation of duplicate SaaS tools (Zoom, Asana, Slack) across acquired companies
