Role Description
As C2IT’s Project Coordinator, you will be involved in many areas of bringing creative, intuitive, and on-target projects to life for our clients.
C2IT has been building web and desktop applications for over 13 years and is growing quickly in mobile app development as well. Many of the projects we are involved in require custom coding, a creative and responsive user interface, and an intuitive user experience. For this reason we tread carefully when it comes to keeping projects within a known scope, because part of C2IT’s value proposition lies in the flexibility we bring clients as we bring their projects to life.
C2IT provides day-to-day IT services in addition to development projects. The Project Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring larger IT projects for our clients are on-target and delivered on-time and on-budget. This employee will work with the support team to ensure client needs are being met and that support services are being adequately provided within parameters defined by the agreements we have with clients.
It is important to note that the services C2IT provides are often highly custom. We aren’t just building someone a simple “billboard” website just to share their contact information. The first project is often the gateway to larger opportunities in the future, and your success will rely on your ability to see the bigger picture and the long-term perspective of the opportunities we pursue. Sometimes, it is better to allow a small amount of scope creep at the cost of retaining and growing the relationship with a client, while at other times, care must be taken to ensure projects are kept tightly on-scope and on-budget.
At C2IT, you’ll benefit from working with a small but experienced team that will offer support that will greatly enhance your skills and knowledge. You’ll also be on the ground floor of a growing team, and opportunities to share your perspective will abound, as will advancement opportunities with our joint success.
We want to find someone who is keen to contribute ideas and who loves finding interesting and brilliant solutions to problems.
The projects we are a part of span a wide variety of platforms – web, desktop, and mobile to name a few, so a willingness and excitement to explore new ways to use what we can do to help others is paramount to all of our success.
