About the role

We are looking for a high-horsepower Project Manager to streamline engineering operations for our Vehicle OS product organization. As our team grows by dozens of people per quarter, maintaining a high operational bar is essential to our success. You will serve as the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for the logistics, culture, and administrative systems that keep our engineering organization running smoothly at peak performance.

This role requires someone gritty who can multi-task effectively and ensure that high-priority tasks are closed out across multiple workstreams. You will work directly with the Head of Engineering to manage the "pulse" of the organization, from onboarding new hires at scale to ensuring our team remains cohesive through rapid expansion.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Own the logistics for the Vehicle OS organization, including customer visits and team space management, in a way that aligns with the teams’ workflows
  • Act as the DRI for team culture and health, establishing a consistent cadence of monthly events, happy hours, and cross-team dinners
  • Maintain a high quality bar for internal communications, including the logistics and content coordination for monthly all-hands meetings
  • Scale our internal onboarding by developing "Academy-style" materials that cover information on our products, customers, and internal operations
  • Increase leadership leverage by tracking and driving a high volume of action items to completion across various engineering projects.
  • Streamline quarterly administrative cycles, such as completing product and team progress reviews, to reduce the operational load on engineering managers

We're looking for someone who has:

  • Bachelor’s degree from a reputable university
  • 1-3 years of experience working in a fast-paced environment with many moving pieces
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to learn context quickly to independently handle complex logistics
  • A bias toward action and the grit to follow up relentlessly until tasks are completed
  • Strong organizational skills to manage a high volume of tasks simultaneously
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to interface with everyone from new hires to senior leadership and external customers

Compensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary, equity, and benefits. Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package, which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage, 401k retirement benefits with employer match, learning and wellness stipends, and paid time off. Note that benefits are subject to change and may vary based on jurisdiction of employment.

Applied Intuition pay ranges reflect the minimum and maximum intended target base salary for new hire salaries for the position. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, interview performance, and the level and scope of the position.
