Project Manager – remote

We are seeking a Project Manager who thrives in complex, cross-functional environments and is passionate about turning strategy into execution.
 
This role is about far more than tracking timelines. Our Project Managers create clarity, build alignment, and drive successful delivery across Product Development initiatives. They partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and business stakeholders to ensure the right work is delivered at the right time while proactively managing risks, dependencies, and organizational change.
 
Successful Project Managers are curious, organized, collaborative, and comfortable navigating ambiguity. They ask thoughtful questions, connect day-to-day execution to business outcomes, and help teams deliver with confidence.
 
**EST hours are preferred
 
What You'll Do:
This is not a traditional coordination-focused PM role. The hiring team wants a Project Manager who can:

• Operate independently with minimal direction
• Bring structure to ambiguous situations
• rive complex initiatives from inception to completion
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and roadblocks
• Hold teams accountable and influence stakeholders
• Work effectively with senior leaders and Agile delivery teams
• Lead rather than simply coordinate meetings and status updates
• Typically supports 1-2 Agile teams
• Manages several concurrent projects with defined timelines

 
Lead Cross-Functional Delivery

• Own planning and execution for medium-to-large cross-functional initiatives.
• Develop integrated project plans that align teams around shared objectives.
• Coordinate activities across Product, Engineering, UX, Architecture, QA, Operations, and other business partners.
• Ensure projects deliver intended business outcomes—not simply completed tasks.

 
Drive Planning and Execution

• Translate strategic priorities into actionable plans and ensure teams deliver against intended outcomes.
• Establish and maintain clear milestones, timelines, dependencies, and success measures.
• Monitor project health and proactively address risks before they impact delivery.
• Keep initiatives moving forward by identifying and removing obstacles.

 
Build Alignment Across Teams

• Facilitate communication between technical and business stakeholders.
• Lead project meetings, planning sessions, and decision-making discussions.
• Surface tradeoffs and recommendations to support informed decisions.
• Foster collaboration and accountability across multiple teams.

 
Manage Risk and Change

• Identify project risks, assumptions, dependencies, and constraints.
• Develop mitigation plans and escalate issues when appropriate.
• Coordinate organizational readiness activities for significant releases.
• Strengthen team operating rhythms (planning, retrospectives, status reporting).
• Help teams become more predictable, efficient, and adaptable to changing priorities and evolving business needs.

 
Improve Delivery Excellence

• Promote consistent project management practices across initiatives.
• Identify opportunities to improve planning, communication, and execution, and drive improvements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of PMO processes, templates, and operating models.
• Support a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous learning.

 
What We're Looking For:

• Strong project management fundamentals including planning, scheduling, risk management, scope management, and stakeholder communication.
• Experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives.
• Ability to bring structure and clarity to ambiguous situations.
• Strong facilitation and relationship-building skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Experience leading teams and projects in Agile, hybrid, or traditional delivery environments.
• Comfortable partnering with engineering teams and understanding technical concepts well enough to manage delivery and dependencies. Software development experience is not required.
• 3-7 years of project or program management experience.
• Bachelor's degree is preferred but not mandatory
• Real-world experience carries more weight than certifications or degrees
• The strongest candidates will demonstrate:
  • Ownership and accountability
  • Ability to create plans where none exist
  • Strong stakeholder management skills
  • Experience navigating ambiguity
  • Risk identification and mitigation
  • Process creation and governance
  • Leadership within Agile environments
  • Cross-functional collaboration across Product, Engineering, UX, QA, and Architecture teams

 
Nice to Have

• Experience supporting software or SaaS product development.
• Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, or similar collaboration tools.
• PMP, CAPM, Scrum, Agile, or similar certifications.
• Experience with Agile methodologies
• Specific PM tools such as Asana or Monday.com
• Deep technical hands-on experience
