Project Manager/President

Ardalyst’s primary goal is to deliver cybersecurity and digital transformation solutions that help our clients protect their business and expand their competitive edge. Ardalyst is a combination of the words ardent and catalyst, as we are passionate change agents looking to uplevel our whole industry. By challenging common wisdom, sharing best practices, and looking at problems differently, the Ardalyst team helps educate public and private institutions on how best to mature work forces, processes, and technologies to thrive and succeed in a rapidly changing environment.

Fit for the Role: We’re looking for a motivated Assistant Project Manager to join our dynamic team and support customer-facing initiatives from planning through execution. You’re a good fit for this role if you can hold others accountable and ensure follow-through on commitments and not afraid to engage in constructive conflict to drive clarity, alignment, and results. You will be responsible for delegating daily tasks to the Program Analysts to maintain customer deadlines and produce deliverables.

You’d work with our team to create, update, quality check, validate and deliver customer cybersecurity programs using our Tesseract product.

Your work may include but isn’t limited to creating and maintaining project plans, facilitating internal and external meetings, tracking changes and dependencies, and supporting implementation or deployment activities. You’ll collaborate closely with the Sales Team, Customer Success, Service Desk, and other stakeholders to keep projects moving forward in a fast-paced cybersecurity startup environment. This position provides hands-on exposure to customer success, implementation projects, and the day-to-day operations of a growing organization.

This is not a remote position.

Speak your mind – Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do and our belief in diversity of people supports our goal for diversity in thought. Ardalysts (that’s just what we call ourselves) come ready to contribute and find solutions.

Act with independence – If you see a problem that needs solving, give a statement in the form of “I intend to (do this)”, then, get feedback, and carry out a solution.

Do research – When faced with uncertainty, take initiative to consult official documentation and reputable online resources. Summarize your findings and share them with the team to ensure clarity and alignment.

Prototype – The best solution is the fastest, minimally viable solution done against the principles defined for the goal. Create something quick, check in often, and iterate from there.

Focus On Your Strengths – We invest in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each employee so that you can shine at what YOU do best.

See Yourself Grow – Ardalysts have cited being encouraged to take educated risk, kick-start progress, and advance their skills as one of their favorite things about working at Ardalyst and we’re determined to keep it that way.

Boots trapper – you can create new things, not just manage existing ones. You work well individually and as a team. You don't let fear of failure get in your way and keep trying until you have a breakthrough.

Innovator – once you have something built, you can systematize it, make it repeatable, and iterate on it to create improvement.

Geek – you crave the details, can't stop learning, and love to teach others.
