Project Manager

Pestana Solutions is a commercialization and communications advisory firm serving companies across the global battery and advanced technology ecosystem. They are seeking a Project Manager to own delivery quality across client engagements, ensuring that advisory insights translate into disciplined, high-quality delivery.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for assigned client engagements
• Translate advisory scope into clear project plans, timelines, and deliverable schedules
• Manage four to five concurrent engagements, each at a different stage
• Keep client review cycles moving to their agreed timelines, often working directly with founders and senior executives as named approvers
• Maintain meeting cadences that vary by client, from weekly working sessions to quarterly strategic reviews
• Own the production pipeline that moves client work from draft through internal review, client review, approval, and publication
• Manage stage gates so each phase of an engagement closes cleanly and hands off everything the next phase needs
• Serve as a second set of eyes on client-facing work — checking accuracy, audience fit, and strategic coherence before anything leaves the building
• Set up and run feedback capture during active campaigns, including monitoring cadence, response protocols, and escalation criteria
• Contribute to and maintain the internal documentation that keeps delivery consistent as the team grows
• Monitor scope boundaries and flag potential creep early, before it affects timeline or margin
• Track dependencies, risks, and decisions across workstreams, and make them visible to the team
• Support clean transitions into follow-on advisory or execution work when the moment is right
• Coordinate across analysts, subject-matter experts, communications contractors, and executive support
• Prepare agendas and readouts; capture decisions and drive follow-through
• Keep internal documentation and project status current in Monday.com

Requirements:

• Strong experience in project management, delivery, or operations — ideally in consulting, advisory, or professional services
• Comfort working with senior executives, founders, and technical teams
• Judgment about quality, not just completion. You can tell when something is genuinely finished versus merely delivered
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• High organization, follow-through, and attention to detail
• Ability to manage ambiguity and shifting priorities with calm confidence
• Familiarity with Google Workspace, project trackers (Monday.com, Asana, Notion), and video conferencing
• Willingness to learn and work within an established methodology rather than impose your own
• Experience in battery, energy, climate, or advanced technology sectors
• Prior experience supporting consulting, marketing, advisory, or commercialization projects
• Experience building or maintaining process documentation and SOPs
