This position is for an Agile Project Manager Team Lead. The Project Manager Team Lead will manage and lead a small team of project managers while also acting as the Agile Project Manager for one engineering team (3-6 engineers).

As a team lead, you will be a strategic partner for one of our departments within engineering; you will work closely with an Engineering Director and our Product Management team as well as other project managers to figure out how we will accomplish our goals and then execute your plans. You will oversee the work of the project managers on your team to align with company goals.

As a manager, you will lead, mentor, and support your team.

As a leader, you will bring a combination of standard methodologies and innovation to level up our teams and processes to be as effective and efficient as possible while we scale rapidly.

What you’ll do…

• Mentor and lead several other project managers in your group. You will provide leadership both from an execution perspective as well as help others to grow in their careers.
• Work with development teams as a Scrum master or Project Manager to plan projects and deliver high quality features on time. You’ll make sure we are executing on every part of a project, everything from the initial quarterly planning to driving down complex requirements to risk management. Scrum master responsibilities include bi-weekly sprint planning, backlog grooming, status reporting, and retrospectives.
• Partner with an Engineering Director and Product Management to accomplish the goals of multiple teams. Keep track of and report status, raise issues, and ensure effective collaboration between multiple groups.
• Drive organizational change in a fast-growing company. We are always looking to improve the ways we work, and you’ll use your experience and leadership to instill standard methodologies that make us more effective.
• Take on any challenge or task that can help your teams deliver high quality successful features. That might mean facilitating an offsite, running a beta, talking with customers, or things we haven’t thought of yet! You’ll be flexible and able to adapt to the changing nature of our company.

• You take initiative to make positive, measurable changes in your organization. You are deeply organized with outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written.
• You are able to quickly learn new things and take on new challenges. You’re flexible and a creative problem solver.

3 Reasons why you should apply…

• This position will have a hand in crafting the way the team works and delivers software as we continue growing at a rapid pace.
• You’ll be asked to take on new and unknown challenges to support the team - if that interests you, this position may be a great fit
• You put people before process

This job may not be for you if...

• If you're a project manager, but haven't been a scrum master for agile development teams, or if you have had experience as a people manager with direct reports
• If the pace of a fast-moving, growth phase company makes you uncomfortable, or if you need a lot of well-established policies and procedures before you can make decisions and get results, this might not be the best role for you.
• If you’re uncomfortable leading, facilitating, and speaking in front of groups, this may not be a good fit
