They will lead projects from conception through deployment, manage resources and logistics, and partner with internal and external teams to provide solutions to meet the project’s objectives.

Our Project Manager reports to the Senior Professional Services Manager, touching base on project status, blockers, and feedback.

To accomplish the required work, the person in this position must take initiative with little supervision, participate in team projects, prioritize tasks based on team goals and needs, and communicate effectively about project workflow and priorities. And that means it will be necessary to be extremely organized yet flexible.
