MCD Beta Contractor

Description

Prefer a 4 year degree (not someone still in college). Prior experience as a Product or Project Mgr is a plus but not mandatory.

This is a Project Coordinator/Program Management position.
Candidate has to coordinate and manage the various levels of Alpha and beta testing of our products before they get released. This includes coordinating actions, calls, meetings, etc with internal core team on the product as well as the various teams who will be doing the testing for us. It can be a very busy environment and would need some flexibility in their work hours (some nights would have to work late and naturally they would be compensated for same). As the job has a lot of responsibility and much multi-tasking, need someone who is very detail orientated and can take a task and make sure it gets completed. They are more or less the "babysitter" of all the teams to make sure all the testing gets done within a specific time period.
