This role does not offer visa sponsorship now or in the future. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.

The Role

We're looking for a Project Manager to join our PMO and own projects end to end, from intake and chartering through planning, execution, and closure. You'll run your projects out of Jira Work Management and Confluence, keep stakeholders informed with clear and consistent updates, and hold cross-functional teams accountable to timelines, scope, and decisions. Just as importantly, you'll help make the PMO itself better, improving our SOPs, templates, tooling, and playbooks so every project we take on runs smoother than the last.

This is a highly consultative role. You'll partner with functional teams across the business to drive alignment and coordinate execution in a matrixed environment ,often without direct authority. You'll also serve as a resource to operations teams on initiatives that don't require a dedicated project manager, giving them the structure, guidance, and templates to execute well on their own.

The ideal candidate is a natural organizer and communicator who brings structure to ambiguity. You're fluent in Jira and Confluence, rigorous about documentation and visibility, and comfortable managing scope, risk, and competing priorities across multiple concurrent projects. You know how to earn credibility with stakeholders at every level and how to keep a project moving when dependencies, blockers, and scope creep threaten to slow it down.
