Overview
We are seeking a highly organized, execution-focused Project Manager to lead software development projects from requirements through delivery.

You will run the Scrum process, remove blockers, and closely monitor engineering performance to ensure predictable, high-quality delivery.
This is a hands-on delivery role, not a passive coordinator position.
