* Resolve project, design, or resource issues before they cause schedule delays.
* Enhance project management process to accommodate rapidly changing software needs.
* Help mentor junior project managers in terms of SDLC, agile processes, and technical skills.

Qualifications:

* 2+ years of experience in a web/SaaS project manager role, or equivalent experience leading development teams.
* Understanding of project processes (scheduling, documentation, risk analysis, and contingency planning).
* Strong understanding of development process, including development, testing, and deployment, as well as work breakdown, dependencies, responsibilities (full SDLC).
* Proficiency in AGILE/SCRUM methodologies.
* Strong written and oral communication skills.
* Strong ability to use/manage project management tracking/reporting tools (eg. JIRA/Greenhopper).
