Who We Are: 

KL&A is an IT consulting firm that knocks the socks off our clients. We work closely with organizations across the United States to develop creative business solutions through project & program management and custom software applications so they can focus on what’s most important…their mission.  

We are honored to be named a Top Workplace by the Detroit Free Press for eight consecutive years! Here at KL&A, we love what we do and believe that our employees are our greatest asset which is why we search for the best and brightest (and perhaps the most caffeinated) of the bunch. This is why our employees have the opportunity to work in an environment of their choosing: whether in the dynamic office environment, in your PJ bottoms at home, or a combination of the two.   

Who You Are: 

You’re a self-motivated individual who finds joy in helping others succeed. You’re able to seamlessly transition from one task to the next without skipping a beat and your attention to detail is so good it’s scary. Your specialty lies in communicating with individuals of varying skill sets. Building relationships and becoming a trusted member of the team motivates you to do your best work every day. Your organizational skills will shine as you coordinate with multiple teams, tasks, schedules, and people to accomplish team goals. Multiple deadlines and moving pieces don’t scare you, because your time management skills are just that good.  You bring a fun enthusiasm to the team and you’re never afraid to speak up and ask questions. 

About the Role: 

As a Project Coordinator, you’ll make project success your top priority by assisting the team in delivering high-quality solutions that provide meaningful business value to the clients. You will be responsible for monitoring various administrative reports and acting when needed. You’ll be providing support to a statewide initiative across multiple State of Michigan government agencies. You will collaborate with your team to create project documentation and artifacts, such as status reports, stakeholder presentations, communication plans, etc. You will also be an important asset for client meetings by creating agendas, addressing follow-up items, and ensuring team members have what they need to make the project a success.

Work Environment

As a result, we are conducting all interviews virtually (get your Teams background ready.) New employees can be onboarded into a virtual, in-person, or hybrid work schedule and are provided with the tools they need to begin employment successfully, regardless of location.
