Program Coordinator Jobs in Wenatchee, WA

POSITION OVERVIEW
Our projects with Tribal partners rarely follow a fixed start date, end date, or scope — priorities shift as community needs and circumstances evolve, and we need a Sr. Project Manager who treats that as the normal nature of the work, not an obstacle to it. This role is about standing up projects from the ground up, staying proactive when direction changes, and building the kind of trust with Tribal partners that lets the work move forward even when the path isn't linear. Within that, the Sr. Project Manager is still accountable for delivering on budget and against an evolving scope.

This position extends beyond traditional task tracking — it requires direct ownership of key action items, effective facilitation of internal and customer-facing meetings, and active support for the engineering team, and the Director of Tribal Programs. Additionally, the project manager is responsible for directly contributing to monthly customer billing targets.

In addition, the Sr. Project Manager serves as the primary relationship manager for Tribal accounts, fostering trust and ensuring that projects address both technical requirements and community priorities. Success in this role demands a collaborative approach: the Sr. Project Manager is expected to contribute meaningfully to project execution, working alongside the team rather than solely delegating or reporting.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of project management experience, with a proven track record of managing complex projects and contributing directly to deliverables
• Original project plan development: demonstrated ability to build a complete project plan from scratch — translating scope of work, subject-matter knowledge, and team input into a structured plan, without relying on an existing template or precedent
• Comfort operating without a fixed start date, end date, or locked scope — demonstrated ability to stay proactive and keep projects moving forward as direction changes
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience
• Demonstrated success building and maintaining strong customer relationships, with high emotional intelligence and cultural awareness that fosters trust in diverse communities
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to tailor communication to diverse audiences including technical teams and senior leadership

• Strong command of MS Project, Smartsheet, Excel, Visio, PowerPoint, and SharePoint, with experience presenting to stakeholders and leadership.
• Strong business analysis capabilities to identify risks and roadblocks before they impact project success

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Telecommunications industry experience
• Experience working with Tribal governments, community-based organizations, or public sector partners
• PMP Certification
