Senior Project Manager

Job Description

This is a remote position.

• Ensure that technical feasibility, business value, and client constraints are balanced effectively.
• Create and manage detailed project tasks and technical documentation.
• Facilitate project meetings with both internal teams and clients.
• Ensure team alignment with delegated tasks and project goals.
• Track project financials to ensure profitability and resource efficiency.
• Develop mitigation plans for risks and ensure early resolution of project roadblocks.
• Support business development efforts by contributing to project scoping and proposals.
• Foster long-term client relationships, ensuring continued engagement beyond project completion.

Requirements

• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to foster strong relationships with clients and team members.
• Strong client account management capabilities.
• Must be able to translate business goals into a phased roadmap and prioritize features based on value vs. effort.

• Should be able to identify early warning signs of scope creep, misalignment, or technical feasibility issues.
• Excellent organizational and multitasking skills.
• Ability to work independently and lead teams.

​Required Knowledge & Experience

• 5+ years of experience as a Software Project Manager, ideally in an agency or consulting environment.
• Experience managing client relationships and accounts.
• Experience working with US-based clients.
• Experience leading discussions on architecture trade-offs, scalability, and technical risks.
• Experience negotiating scope adjustments with clients while protecting timelines and budgets.
• Technical knowledge of software development processes.
• Experience working with developers, designers, and stakeholders.
• Familiarity with Agile and Scrum methodologies.
