We are seeking a high-energy, detail-oriented Junior Project Manager to support cross-functional initiatives across customer operations, customer success, finance & billing, and internal business operations.

You will work directly with senior leaders and department heads to keep projects organized, on schedule, and moving forward. You will use modern project management platforms and AI tools to streamline workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and ensure execution excellence.

  • Use project management software (e.g., Asana, ClickUp, Monday, etc.) to manage task flow
  • Leverage AI tools to automate tracking, reporting, documentation, and communication
  • Prepare executive summaries and internal performance updates
  • Jump in where needed - this role floats across departments

  • 2+ years of work experience in business operations, consulting, customer success, finance, or similar operational role
  • Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
  • Comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Technically proficient and comfortable using modern SaaS tools
  • Curious, adaptable, and solution-oriented
  • Thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments

Bonus if you:

  • Have startup experience
  • Have worked in professional services, consulting, or compliance-driven industries

  • Typical total annual compensation ranges from $57,000-$72,000, including overtime
  • High ownership, high growth, high expectations

  • See how strategy turns into execution
