It’s an ideal opportunity for an experienced project manager who enjoys working closely with technical teams and ensuring software projects are delivered reliably and on time.

Accountabilities:

• Own software projects end to end, from planning and execution through release and delivery.
• Build and maintain detailed delivery plans with clearly defined tasks, owners, milestones, and deadlines.
• Track project progress regularly, identify potential delays or risks early, and drive appropriate recovery actions.

• Manage project scope and change requests, assessing and communicating their potential impact on timelines and delivery.
• Plan and coordinate software releases, including readiness checks and alignment with QA.
• Provide clear and timely updates on project status, risks, decisions, dependencies, and delivery progress to stakeholders and management.
• Maintain strong coordination across technical and business teams to ensure priorities and expectations remain aligned.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of professional project management experience, with experience in any industry considered relevant.
• Proven experience personally managing software development projects from planning through release.
• Hands-on experience creating and maintaining delivery plans, monitoring progress, and following up on delays or outstanding tasks.
• Direct experience collaborating with developers, QA professionals, and business stakeholders on requirements, blockers, scope changes, and delivery priorities.
• Strong organizational, follow-up, prioritization, and communication skills.
• Fluent written and spoken English.
• Ability to take ownership, proactively identify delivery risks, and drive projects forward with limited supervision.
• Previous experience as a software developer or data engineer is a plus.
• Experience managing data, analytics, or AI projects is an advantage.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and project management tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps is a plus.

Benefits:

• Fully remote position.
• Full-time employment opportunity.
