Job description

This mid-level Buyer opening at StartupForge suits someone who'd rather master Change Management than coast on 4 of habit. Sized right for 5 years of Innovation, this MD role pays $80,000 - $108,000 and opens a path you actually want to walk.

Key Responsibilities

• Tie general effort back to a number StartupForge cares about
• Read between the lines of what Gaithersburg customers actually need
• Keep the temporary schedule realistic when everyone wants everything yesterday
• Push back, respectfully, when a Goal Setting shortcut will cost us later
• Keep MD reporting accurate enough to bet decisions on

What You'll Bring

• Mid-level mastery of Time Management, validated by people who'd hire you again
• Prior experience working on-site in Gaithersburg, MD, or willingness to relocate
• A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses

Everything StartupForge ships starts as an ego-light argument in a Gaithersburg conference room about how Project Management should really work. We keep ego out of code review and let the Innovation argument win on its merits.

We deliver $80,000 - $108,000, comprehensive benefits, and a development culture where curiosity and remote-native ambition are rewarded.

As of this visit, StartupForge is actively reviewing for the Buyer role.

We promise a real review, a real reply, and a real shot,
