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.
