  • Collaborate with project managers, technical leads, and service desk managers to align on priorities, dependencies, and go-live plans.
  • Maintain detailed project documentation, status reports, and lessons learned to continuously improve the help desk's readiness and support capabilities.
  • Demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills to synthesize complex data and translate technical requirements into actionable solutions for the help desk.
  • Foster a user-centric mindset, ensuring the needs and experiences of end-users are considered throughout the project lifecycle.

Here's What You Need:

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with technical and non-technical teams
  • Ability to quickly learn new technologies and translate complex technical information for end-user support
  • Proven track record of identifying and resolving issues to ensure successful project implementations
  • Familiarity with common IT projects in a federal government environment (e.g., infrastructure upgrades, application migrations, IT service transitions)
  • Experience in user research methodologies and translating user needs into service delivery improvements
