The Position
The Port of Portland is hiring a
Information Technology Project Coordinator*
This position provides comprehensive administrative, coordination, and project support services to IT and enterprise project teams, including ERP implementation, digital transformation, and Port Forward initiatives. The role supports project managers, PMO, workstream leads, and program leadership by maintaining project documentation, coordinating meetings and events, tracking action items, supporting governance processes, and ensuring project information is organized, accurate, and accessible.
From the hiring manager:
Join the Port of Portland during Port Forward, our major digital transformation modernizing finance, HR, property management, and asset management across the airport and marine operations. As IT Project Coordinator, you'll be in the room where it happens - keeping governance, documentation, and coordination running across Port staff, technical leads, and delivery partners on a large-scale ERP implementation.
It's a rare seat for someone early in their project management career: direct visibility into program leadership, hands-on experience across the full project lifecycle, and skills in governance and stakeholder coordination that translate straight into a PM career - all while supporting infrastructure that keeps the region moving.
If you want fast-moving, high-visibility work where your work directly shapes whether a major initiative succeeds, this is it.
*This is a limited-duration role lasting approximately 24 - 36 months to assist the Port of Portland with an ERP implementation. The role may be lengthened or shortened based on business need.
We offer a flexible hybrid schedule that combines work-life balance with team collaboration. You'll be in the office Tuesday through Thursday to engage with colleagues and support our business lines, with the flexibility to work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Due to the nature of this role, some flexibility outside of these general guidelines may be required.
