This role requires a product-minded PM who has operated inside a strong product company someone comfortable managing cross-functional delivery across Product, Engineering, Design, and QA, while keeping pace with a fast-moving, iterative R&D environment.

- Drive release planning and coordinate go-live/launch readiness activities.
- Proactively identify and mitigate project risks and schedule slippage.
- Maintain project documentation, roadmaps, and delivery plans.
- Support resource planning and capacity management across R&D teams.
- Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement within delivery teams.
WHAT YOU BRING
8-10 years of Project Management experience, with meaningful tenure inside strong product companies not primarily IT services or systems-integration organizations delivering complex software/product initiatives in an Agile R&D environment. Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional delivery, balance speed with quality, and partner directly with Product Management and Engineering leadership.

Product Development Lifecycle | Understanding of how product companies plan, build, and ship software |
Tools | JIRA, Confluence, Asana/Monday, roadmap tools (Aha! Product board), and Azure DevOps |
Leadership | Driving accountability and alignment across distributed, cross-functional teams |
SOFT SKILLS
- Strong organizational and prioritization skills.

- Experience managing distributed/offshore-onshore engineering teams.
CANDIDATE EXPECTATIONS
- Must come from a strong product company background candidates whose experience is primarily IT services, staffing, or systems integration will not be a fit for this role.
- Must demonstrate ownership of delivery outcomes, not just process facilitation.
- Must be comfortable operating directly with Product Management and Engineering leadership in a fast-paced R&D setting.
