About The Role

We’re looking for a collaborative, self-motivated, growth-minded, and unabashedly detail-obsessed Technical Project Manager to join our rapidly-growing Product Engineering team. This person will fill a pivotal role on the broader Product Team, operating at the confluence of Product Management, Engineering, Design, and Customer Service. The right candidate for this role is a highly organized and knowledgeable agile practitioner who fluently speaks the language of SaaS products and technologies (though not necessarily a developer), and who knows how to apply and adapt processes commensurate with the company’s size, culture, challenges, and strategic objectives.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with Product Management, Design, and Engineering to understand new features and product enhancements, ensuring that they are effectively documented and communicated, thoughtfully implemented, and thoroughly tested.
• Collaborate with Product Management, QA, Design, and Engineering to develop a plan for the release and track the team’s delivery to that plan.
• Host and facilitate technical team meetings to ensure teams are on track, open questions are closed quickly, and obstacles are removed.
• Drive strategic projects or initiatives that span across multiple teams and organizations
• Partner with QA to help suffuse quality and effective testing through every stage of the SDLC.
• Create tools and optimize cross-functional development processes to meet the scaling organization’s needs and deliver predictable results.
• Teach and model agile processes.
• Write and manage technical documentation.
• Anticipate and resolve risks and roadblocks to ensure projects are completed on time.
• Lead a variety of projects that intersect with product engineering; for example, initiatives related to compliance, business intelligence, reporting, and selection of technology and vendors.
  
  

Required Quialifications

• Proven success as a project manager for globally distributed software teams
• Knowledgeable with agile software development methodologies and productivity tools.
• Experience owning and iterating on team agile scrum process and ceremonies (refinement, planning, standups, retros)
• Strong experience driving strategic projects and initiatives with multiple stakeholders
• Familiar with web application UX/UI design process
• Ability to identify, prioritize, and successfully execute on competing priorities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills across both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong problem solving and organizational skills.
• Software development experience is a plus, but not required.
• Passionate about creating compelling data-driven experiences.
• Entrepreneurial spirit, priding yourself on getting things done with a high level of quality.
• Ability to thrive and adapt in a fast-paced, high-growth, and rapidly changing environment.
