You will communicate priorities, risks, issues, and schedules to leadership while developing presentation materials to facilitate decision-making. Your ability to anticipate challenges, drive alignment, and adjust project timelines as needed will be critical to ensuring the successful and timely delivery of key initiatives.
Responsibilities:
  • Ensure timely delivery of project deliverables by managing dependencies, resolving escalations, and taking corrective actions as needed.
  • Define project scope, objectives, and deliverables in collaboration with stakeholders.
  • Set and track project milestones; proactively manage unforeseen delays, adjusting schedules and expectations as necessary.

This person will be working as part of the Business Operations team and closely with teams across the Organization (Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering) and extensively with external vendors and contractors.
Why you’re a great fit:
  • 5+ years of experience in project management, ideally within an Agile/Scrum environment.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented problem solver with a passion for improving processes through structured project management.
  • Proven track record of successfully leading cross-functional initiatives, collaborating across teams to drive impactful outcomes.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills enable you to create clear requirements documentation, process flows, and project plans that drive alignment and execution.
  • Thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments, demonstrating professionalism and adaptability when faced with ambiguity or high-profile challenges.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and projects simultaneously, while maintaining a keen focus on delivering value, will make you a critical asset to the team.
  • Strong planning, organization, and communication skills.
