THIS IS A CONTINGENT POSITION, AND EMPLOYMENT IS DEPENDENT UPON ELEMENT 84 RECEIVING THE CONTRACT AWARD.

Element 84 is looking for a driven, experienced project manager to serve a client who is focused on rapidly building and launching a modernized version of a supply chain regulation platform. You’d keep the team and client on track as they redesign a large set of cohesive tools that serve a meaningful mission, ensuring safe working conditions and responsible business practices for some of the world’s largest companies.
An ideal candidate for this role is excited to support engineers and designers in getting requirements just right through strong attention to detail and ability to collaborate with stakeholders, engineers, designers, and subject matter experts. You’re also motivated to ensure the team executes on time and on budget, using agile methods to drive incremental value. We’re seeking someone with past experience managing teams responsible for launching large-scale products.
At Element 84, project managers are expected to be intimately and proactively involved with their team’s performance, execution, budget, and customer satisfaction. While each project’s team can be different, often an Element 84 PM will act in the role of Scrum Master in the Agile Development Process, work with customers to make sure their requirements are translated into work from the team, and manage the delivery schedule.
