## Description

We're looking for someone who is highly organized, communicates well with both technical and non-technical people, and has enough technical aptitude to ask the right questions, understand vendor proposals, and hold vendors accountable to scope and timelines. This role is not a hands-on engineering position. Our IT team is strong on technical talent but needs someone to keep vendor-driven projects organized, on schedule, and clearly communicated across stakeholders. You'll serve as the primary point of contact for IT vendors and contractors, manage project timelines and budgets, and make sure work gets delivered as promised-translating between our technical staff and outside vendors so nothing falls through the cracks.

What will you be doing most days?

 * Own day-to-day relationships with IT vendors and contractors: contracts, SOWs, renewals, and performance against agreed deliverables.
 * Manage vendor-led projects end to end -schedules, milestones, budgets, and status reporting to internal stakeholders and leadership.
 * Translate between technical staff and vendors so requirements, blockers, and risks are clearly understood by both sides.
 * Track project budgets and invoices against contracts; flag scope creep, delays, or cost overruns early.
 * Run regular check-ins and status meetings with vendors; keep meeting notes, action items, and decisions documented.
 * Maintain a clear record of active vendors, contracts, renewal dates, and project status.
 * Coordinate onboarding/offboarding of vendor resources (access requests, security/compliance requirements, etc.)
 * Escalate issues appropriately and help resolve conflicts between vendor commitments and internal priorities.
 * Support RFP/vendor selection processes: gathering requirements, comparing proposals, and summarizing trade-offs for decision-makers.
