  • Understand technical discussions sufficiently to translate requirements, risks, and decisions among stakeholders.
  • Support the deployment of industrial connectivity solutions, network infrastructure, IoT communications, and data collection platforms.
  • Maintain flexibility in working hours to support international teams and stakeholders.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of project management experience leading complex, large-scale technology deployment initiatives.
  • Demonstrated experience managing global projects spanning multiple countries and time zones.
  • Proven track record managing infrastructure, networking, systems integration, or technology deployment initiatives for enterprise-scale deployments.

  • Experience coordinating cross-functional technical teams and customer-facing programs.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with strong executive presence and customer-facing professionalism.

  • Background as a former Engineer who moved into Project Management or a background in Network Engineering.
  • Experience in Manufacturing, Industrial IoT (IIoT), or Operational Technology (OT) environments.
  • Experience managing projects involving network migrations, connectivity solutions, or cloud-based data integrations.
  • PMP, PgMP, Agile, Scrum, or equivalent project management certifications.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance plans.
  • Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP).
  • 401K program with company match after 12 months of tenure.
