Crowd Favorite is Hiring: Technical Project Manager

My company, Crowd Favorite, is looking for the right person to join our team as a technical project manager (some shops call this position a “producer”). It’s a pretty interesting and challenging role, and an opportunity to work with a great team, the latest web technologies and a range of very interesting clients (startups to Fortune 500).

  • identifying and managing and/or escalating issues that arise within projects (scheduling, quality, client pivot requests, etc.)
  • coordinating with our team to make sure the project is on track and is striving to meet the client’s overall goals
  • running internal meetings and meetings with clients, taking minutes, tracking next steps, clarifying requirements, documentation, etc.
  • receiving technical information from our development team, understanding it, and being able to deliver it in layman’s terms (when needed) to a client
  • tracking project and budget status (with the ability to identify early if we’re going off track)
  • identifying client requests that are outside the current project scope vs. those that are within the spirit of the project parameters
  • holding everyone accountable to agreed upon deadlines
