Please Note: This is a Utah-based hybrid position that will require some regular in-office days each week. Additionally, employment with BambooHR is contingent on passing both a background and credit check. 

Essential Job Duties

As a Project Manager in our Revenue organization at BambooHR, you will experience an atmosphere of rapid growth and change, all while balancing this with doing things the right way. We truly care about doing the right thing - that's why it's one of our company values! Rather than just focusing on deadlines and end results, the journey itself matters at BambooHR - pretty refreshing in the world of Project Management! Also refreshing is that as a Project Manager at Bamboo, you are not just a vessel to "get things done" - a trusted decision-maker who is given the freedom to do great work. You will be responsible for scoping, forecasting, and the management of assigned core, revenue-enabling projects - that means you'll be working with executive sponsors on projects that actually have direct impact on our growth and success as a company! You will have the autonomy and support to work across multiple cross-functional organizations that will partner with you to execute on the go-to-market strategy for a high-growth software company. This is a differentiated project manager role that represents a unique value and opportunity!

You will:

• Manage all parts of projects from inception to completion, delivery, retrospective debriefing, and reporting (this includes scoping, forecasting, leading, and managing projects)
• Support and encourage collaboration and consistency in project management at BambooHR
• Provide a framework for projects’ activities and tasks while coordinating the timing and completion of those tasks
• Carry out project plans to achieve determined objectives
• Consistently and actively communicate with project team members and stakeholders regarding project status, documentation, objectives, timelines, and decisions
• Keep projects on track by measuring, evaluating, reporting, and making adjustments as needed
• Maintain the hygiene of our project management tools by updating project statuses and following up with stakeholders to ensure project integrity
• Provide clarity and confidence in progress towards objectives and their outcomes

What You Need to Get the Job Done

• 5+ years of project management-related experience, with at least 2 having been in an A-level Project Manager role (managing large spans of control, engaging with senior leaders, managing company-wide, end-to-end, multi-department, multi-stakeholder projects)
• You're very practiced in using PM tools, software, and concepts such as charters, scope of work, standard operating procedures (SOPs), process maps, etc. (our PM software is Wrike)
• You’re an expert problem solver and you’re able to stay calm, cool, and collected under pressure
• You delight in keeping things on schedule, within scope, and on budget, ensuring team/stakeholder satisfaction and project quality, and reaching project goals
• Your friends may refer to you as a "motivator" - able to motivate team members in order to help make the project run toward completion
• You’re able to provide visibility to your work and effectively plan in a way to get the maximum amount of work done in the minimum amount of time - prioritization is key!
• Your interpersonal skills are off the chart! You’re able to communicate well with internal customers and stakeholders, set appropriate expectations, and build relationships of trust with diverse teams
• You can drive accountability at very senior levels of an organization to achieve timelines, deliverables, decisions, and results

What Will Make Us REALLY Love You 

• You LOVE project management work and get jazzed just talking about it
• You have an excellent understanding of "painting a picture" of all the affected parties & processes along the way
• In meetings that can often have a lot of noise, you're able to distill specific action items
• You have a strong skillset in organization and the ability to be assertive when needed, all while having the confidence to work across teams regardless of titles
• Not only are you able to work within an environment that has multiple urgent - and maybe even competing - priorities, but you thrive in it
• PMP and/or Six Sigma certifications are a bonus!
• You have an extensive toolset to refer to that helps establish a framework for progress and success
• You have situational fluency. You know how to navigate complex processes and scenarios in order to find solutions to roadblocks.
• Hybrid work model highly preferred (a few days in office a week to collaborate as a team is just too fun to pass up)
