Key Responsibilities • Define project scope, goals, and deliverables in collaboration with senior management and stakeholders. • Develop and manage detailed project plans, schedules, and budgets for SaaS platform initiatives. • Lead and motivate cross-functional, geographically dispersed project teams throughout the project lifecycle. • Facilitate communication and collaboration among team members using a variety of digital tools and platforms. • Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks and dependencies proactively. • Monitor project progress, track key performance indicators (KPIs), and report on status to stakeholders regularly. • Ensure the timely and successful delivery of projects, meeting quality standards and client expectations. • Manage stakeholder expectations and facilitate effective decision-making processes. • Implement and refine project management methodologies (e.g., Agile, Scrum) for remote teams. • Foster a positive and productive remote working environment for the project team. Requirements • Proven experience (5+ years) as a Project Manager, specifically managing software development or SaaS projects. • Demonstrated success in leading fully remote teams and delivering complex projects. • Strong understanding of software development lifecycles and Agile/Scrum methodologies. • Excellent proficiency with project management software (e.g., Jira, Asana, Trello) and collaboration tools (e.g., Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Teams). • Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills, adapted for a remote setting. • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and prioritize effectively. • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities. • Certification such as PMP, CSM, or similar is highly desirable. • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field. • Experience in the SaaS industry is a significant advantage. Benefits • This fully remote position offers a highly competitive salary and potential for performance-based bonuses. • Employees receive comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage. • A generous vacation policy and flexible working hours are provided. • Opportunities for continuous professional development, including access to online courses and industry certifications, are supported. • Our client fosters a culture of innovation, autonomy, and work-life balance, enabling employees to thrive in a remote setting. • Retirement savings plan contributions are also included. • This role provides excellent career growth prospects within a leading technology company. #J-18808-Ljbffr
