Responsibilities
  • Own the end-to-end scope of cross-team projects: elicit and document requirements, break them down into tasks and user stories, build and maintain project plans, and track delivery timelines with all involved parties — including product managers, engineering, design, and analytics teams.
  • Communicate with partners and internal stakeholders to align on scope, timelines, dependencies, and task prioritization.
  • Drive clarity around ownership, responsibilities, and escalation paths across teams — ensure nothing falls between the cracks.
  • Facilitate effort estimation in collaboration with engineering teams and define realistic implementation timeframes.
  • Support prioritization of tasks and backlog items in alignment with business goals and delivery capacity.
  • Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies early; proactively escalate and propose mitigation plans.
  • Maintain and share regular project status updates (dashboards, weekly syncs, async reports) to keep stakeholders aligned and informed.
  • Run project retrospectives to capture lessons learned and continuously improve delivery processes.
  • Manage external vendor or third-party integration timelines where applicable.
  • Requirements
  • 3+ years of experience as a Project Manager, Program Manager, or similar role.

  •  
    Nice to Have
