We’re looking for a Project Manager who knows how to bring order to chaos and keep projects moving and on time, on budget, and with no surprises.

  • Lead check-ins with internal teams and clients to ensure alignment
  • Resolve issues, manage change orders, and keep projects moving forward
  • Assist with change management and help clients adapt to new systems
  • Occasionally travel to client sites as needed

Who You Are

  • Familiar with PM tools like Asana, MS Project, or Jira
  • Comfortable building and tracking budgets with attention to detail
  • Experienced in SOW creation and spotting scope creep
  • Highly organized, calm under pressure, and enjoyable to work with
  • Growth-oriented with a mindset that sees every challenge as an opportunity

Bonus Points If You:

  • Have experience with change management
  • Understand compliance/security standards
  • Have handled vendor management or resource planning
  • Can mentor junior team members and help others grow

What You’ll Get

  • A real voice in process improvement and growth strategies
  • Opportunities to expand your leadership, technical, and business skills
  • A collaborative, casual team environment
  • Access to cutting-edge tools and technology

Benefits
