Software Project Manager

Accountabilities:

• • Own client-facing software projects from initial planning and kickoff through delivery, production release, and project close.
  • Translate client objectives and project scope into clear milestones, deliverables, dependencies, timelines, and execution plans.
  • Partner closely with engineers and technical leads to understand technical requirements, architecture decisions, implementation dependencies, constraints, and delivery risks.
  • Maintain a clear view of project health across scope, timeline, resources, risks, dependencies, and overall delivery progress.
  • Identify potential delivery risks and blockers early, develop mitigation strategies, and drive issues toward resolution.
  • Facilitate project kickoffs, planning sessions, status meetings, retrospectives, and other delivery ceremonies when they add value.
  • Ensure engineering teams have the context, decisions, requirements, stakeholder access, and information required to execute effectively.
  • Communicate project status, risks, trade-offs, dependencies, decisions, and changes clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Build and maintain trusted client relationships while protecting engineering teams from unnecessary churn and distractions.
  • Escalate issues proactively by providing context, available options, and recommended next steps rather than simply reporting problems.
  • Continuously improve project management processes, documentation, tooling, and delivery practices to make execution more effective and predictable.
  • Create structure in ambiguous environments, making unknowns and evolving requirements visible before they become delivery risks.

  Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in software project management, technical project management, delivery management, or a comparable role.
  • Demonstrated experience owning complex software engineering projects from planning and scope definition through successful completion.
  • Experience working directly with software engineers and technical leads in a software development environment.
  • Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, including planning, development, testing, release, and production delivery.
  • Ability to understand technical concepts, system dependencies, constraints, and trade-offs and communicate them effectively without needing to be a software engineer.
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, combined with the ability to maintain focus on broader business and project outcomes.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments where requirements, processes, and solutions may still be evolving.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience collaborating with distributed or remote teams across locations and time zones.
  • A proactive and accountable approach, with the confidence to raise difficult issues, challenge assumptions, and drive decisions.
  • Preferred: Experience within a software consultancy, professional services organization, or client-facing engineering environment.
  • Preferred: Background delivering projects involving blockchain, distributed systems, fintech, financial services, capital markets, or related technologies.
  • Preferred: Familiarity with digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, or privacy-enabled blockchain ecosystems.
  • Preferred: Experience delivering software within regulated or enterprise environments.
  • Preferred: Familiarity with Agile and other delivery methodologies, combined with the judgment to adapt processes to the needs of each project.

  Benefits:

  • High-impact projects: Contribute to complex software engagements involving blockchain, financial infrastructure, distributed systems, and regulated industries.
  • Technical collaboration: Work closely with experienced software engineers and technical leaders on challenging, high-value projects.
  • Ownership and autonomy: Take meaningful responsibility for project outcomes and influence how delivery practices evolve.
  • Collaborative environment: Join a culture built around clear communication, curiosity, accountability, and thoughtful problem-solving.
  • Flexible project management: Use delivery practices that fit the needs of the project rather than adding process for its own sake.
  • Professional growth: Develop deeper expertise in technical delivery, emerging technologies, financial infrastructure, and client engagement.
  • Distributed team experience: Collaborate with colleagues and clients across geographies in a remote-first environment.
