Create Clarity from Ambiguity

• Translate evolving business and product needs into actionable plans and milestones

Improve Operational Excellence

What We Are Looking For:

• 7+ years of project or program management experience within software or technology organizations
• 3+ years operating in a senior-level project management role
• Proven track record delivering complex, cross-functional software initiatives in fast-paced environments
• Experience working with globally distributed teams across multiple time zones
• Strong understanding of Agile software development methodologies and execution practices
• Proven success in implementing PM processes and best practices in an early agile organization
• Ability to understand technical dependencies, product tradeoffs, and engineering constraints
