• Identify and address risks, balancing business and technical needs, and elevate issues when necessary.


• Serve as the primary contact for clients and team members, providing updates on project progress and changes in scope.


• Maintain regular client engagement to ensure expected value delivery.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of project management experience, preferably in web or mobile development.


• Proficiency with agile project management frameworks (Scrum, Kanban), including experience leading sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives as a Scrum Master.


• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage and prioritize multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.


• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders.


• Agile certification (CSM, PMI-ACP, or similar) is a plus.


• Familiarity with JIRA, Confluence, AirTable, Jira Product Discovery or other project management tools is preferred.


• Proven relationship-building abilities with cross-functional teams and stakeholders, facilitating project alignment and driving successful collaboration.


• Skilled in creating actionable plans in fast-paced, agile environments, balancing timelines, resources, and ambiguity to ensure project success.


• Fluent English is a must.

Nice to haves:

• Experience and understanding of mobile apps, Connected TV platforms,OTT services, web, and general digital media technologies would be great to have.


• Strong facilitation and workshop capabilities to help cross-functional teams define the outcomes and then deliver on those outcomes.


• Experience with Atlassian suite of tools.
