Job description

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to own delivery for one of our client engagements — someone equally comfortable discussing scope with a CTO and grooming a backlog with engineers. You'll sit at the center of the relationship between our team and the client, turning business priorities into a clear, well-run delivery process, and keeping things stable even when the team or scope shifts. This is a role for someone who treats process as a craft, not overhead, and who's trusted to make calls that affect both client happiness and engineering health.

The Senior Project Manager will take full ownership of a complex, long-term client project, ensuring stable delivery, strong stakeholder alignment, and mature process management. The role replaces an existing PM and is critical for maintaining trust with both the client and a senior, highly experienced engineering team.

You Have

• Senior-level Project Management experience in complex, long-running software projects
• Strong background working with: Distributed teams (~15 FTE) Senior engineers and technical leads
• Clients without a formal Product Manager on their side.
• Technical literacy: Not expected to make technical decisions
• Must understand technical discussions and argue decisions logically and credibly
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, including: Managing ~10 client stakeholders at different engagement levels
• Explaining trade-offs, risks, and decisions clearly
• High level of process thinking and structure, with flexibility to adapt processes as the project evolves
• Strong authority and presence to earn respect from a mature, long-tenured team

You Are Going To

• Own end-to-end project management, from planning through delivery and execution.
• Manage and prioritize scope based on client input and internal validation
• Coordinate releases and groom the backlog in close collaboration with subject-matter experts and engineers.
• Manage stakeholders, communicating regularly with client-side subject-matter experts and senior stakeholders, including at CTO/CEO level.
• Own and improve core processes, including Jira workflows and automation, user story quality and acceptance, release and estimation processes, and the roadmap actualization process.
• Act as the bridge between engineering and the client, facilitating technical discussions between the team and stakeholders with clear, logical, and technically grounded arguments
• Maintain delivery stability during periods of team or scope change.
