Senior Project Manager

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager who will take full ownership of delivery for a mature, long-running project. You will join an ongoing long‑term project with an established engineering team, working on a complex, domain‑heavy product with high business impact.

Our client is a US‑based product company that develops enterprise software solutions for finance, accounting, and tax operations, primarily for large asset‑intensive businesses such as energy and utilities companies.

The platform helps organizations automate complex financial processes, improve data transparency, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. It integrates with major ERP systems and supports mission‑critical workflows used by large‑scale enterprises.

• Senior‑level Project Management experience in complex, long‑running software projects.
• Strong background working with distributed teams (~15 FTE) and senior engineers and technical leads.
• Experience with clients that do not have a formal Product Manager on their side.
• Technical literacy:
  Not expected to make technical decisions, but must understand technical discussions and argue decisions logically and credibly.
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, including managing ~10 client stakeholders at different engagement levels.
• Ability to explain trade‑offs, risks, and decisions clearly.
• High level of process thinking and structure, with flexibility to adapt processes as the project evolves.
• Strong authority and presence to earn respect from a mature, long‑tenured team.

• Manage projects end to end, covering planning, delivery, and execution phases.
• Own scope management and prioritization based on client input and internal validation.
• Coordinate releases and groom the backlog in close collaboration with subject‑matter experts and engineering teams.
• Manage stakeholders through regular and structured communication, including client‑side subject‑matter experts and senior stakeholders (CTO/CEO level).
• Process ownership and improvement, including:

• Jira workflows and automation.
• User story quality and acceptance.
• Release and estimation processes.
• Roadmap actualization process.

• Act as a bridge between engineering and the client, facilitating technical discussions between the team and stakeholders with clear, logical, and technically grounded arguments.
• Maintain delivery stability during periods of team or scope change.

• Work‑life balance:
  Possibility to work remotely.
• Health care:
  Reimbursement of medical expenses; online morning exercise.
• Education:
  
  Compensation for trainings, seminars, conferences; free access to Pluralsight and ACloud
  
  Guru; access to the Altex Soft library; mentor for a probation period; participation in the Mentorship Hub program as a mentor or mentee.
• Development:
  Horizontally — master new technologies at internal courses; vertically — choose your own career path through competency trees.
• Recognition program:
  All activities are marked by points that can be exchanged for gifts.
