About The Role
We're looking for a sharp, proactive Project Manager to lead our post-sale service delivery operations. This is a dual-role that combines client-facing project management with oversight of internal service execution — you’ll own delivery timelines, help teams stay aligned, and serve as the go-to person for customer questions and issue resolution.
You'll manage a team of 5-10 and play a hands-on role in refining processes, spotting inefficiencies, and ensuring seamless system implementations. You don’t need to code, but you should understand APIs, data integrity, and how digital tools connect — with a strong instinct for when things "look off."
We're a high-trust, high-performance team that hires for attitude, trust, and proven experience. If you bring great communication skills, technical fluency, and a drive to lead and improve systems, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities

- Act as the primary point of contact for customers, fielding questions and managing updates via calls, emails, and shared dashboards
- Learn and oversee the systems that power our service — including CRMs, data platforms, workflow tools, and API-connected tools
- Understand how data flows between tools, monitor for data quality or breakdowns, and escalate issues as needed
- Spot inefficiencies or risks in service delivery and work with internal teams to solve them proactively
- Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, product, engineering, and customer support
- Provide internal and external stakeholders with regular updates, reports, and documentation
- 3+ years in project management, service delivery, client onboarding, or related roles
- Strong technical aptitude — you understand the “why” behind APIs and data structure, even if you’re not hands-on
- Excellent written and spoken English — confident managing client comms and leading status calls
- Previous experience managing a small team (ideally 5+ people)
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with strong judgment and ownership mentality
- Comfortable managing multiple projects in a fast-paced, remote-first environment
- Familiar with CRMs, databases, spreadsheets, and tools like ClickUp, Trello, or Asana
- Seniority level Mid-Senior level
- Employment type Full-time
- Job function Project Management and Information Technology
