[Remote] Project Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Slater Certified® is an AI-powered workforce development platform for the water and wastewater sector. The Project Manager will bridge sales and delivery by coordinating the pipeline, client onboarding, engineering work, project dependencies, meetings, status reporting, and administrative operations in a fully remote environment.

Responsibilities

• Sit between the VP of Sales, the CTBO and engineering, and keep all three working from the same picture
• Translate what sales is promising into what engineering has to build, and flag the gap before a commitment is made rather than after
• Maintain what is sellable today versus what is on the roadmap, and keep that honest
• Chase the dependencies between the two sides - the content, the configuration, the approval, the answer from a customer - so nothing stalls quietly
• Take handover of the pipeline as it stands today from business development, and make it current, complete and usable by everyone who needs it
• Track prospects through the pipeline: where each one stands, what it is waiting on, what it would take to close
• Run onboarding for clients in flight end to end, from kickoff to go-live
• Keep the CRM and the delivery plan reflecting the same reality
• Be the point of contact who knows the status, and who tells a client before they have to ask
• Own the Jira board: hygiene, flow, and whether it still describes how work actually moves
• Turn requirements into tickets with clear scope and acceptance criteria, and push back when a requirement is not ready
• Run the cadence - planning, standups, retrospectives - at whatever weight a small team can sustain without ceremony for its own sake
• Track work through the release path into TEST and on to production, and make sure nothing sits in a column because nobody noticed
• Facilitate the meetings: set the agenda, hold the time, and leave with decisions and owners written down
• Produce status reporting an executive can read in two minutes and an engineer can trust
• Identify risks early, escalate with a recommendation rather than a question, and manage scope changes including the schedule consequence
• Own the administrative detail that keeps a small company moving - scheduling, follow-ups, documentation, the things that fall through when everyone is busy
• This is a fully virtual role. You will work alone most of the day, with no one sitting next to you and no one checking whether you started
• Reach out first. Sales and engineers deep in their own work will not volunteer status, and waiting for it is how a week disappears
• Keep your own pipeline full - know what the next three pieces of work are, and go and get the direction you need rather than waiting to be handed it
• Say when you are blocked, early and in writing, rather than absorbing it quietly

Skills

• 5+ years coordinating across sales and delivery - project management, program coordination, sales operations, or a role that sat between the two
• Has kept a client pipeline and a delivery plan in sync, and can describe how
• Commercially literate enough to sit in a sales conversation and understand what is being promised
• Technically literate enough to sit with engineers - can follow a conversation about environments, releases and dependencies without needing it translated, and can tell when an estimate does not add up
• Facilitates meetings that produce decisions and owners, not notes
• Writes status reporting that people actually read: short, current, and honest about what is at risk
• Genuinely organized, and willing to own the administrative detail - the follow-ups, the scheduling, the chasing - rather than treating it as beneath the role
• Excels working solo. This is a fully virtual role and long stretches of it are unsupervised
• Proactive about pulling work and direction - chases sales, engineering and customers for what is needed instead of waiting
• 100% remote
• Travel - None expected
• 40 hours per week
• PMP, PRINCE2, Certified Scrum Master or equivalent
• Hands-on with Jira, and with a CRM - HubSpot, Salesforce or similar
• Construction, wastewater, utilities or another infrastructure-sector background
• EdTech, LMS, credentialing or regulated-training experience
• Has worked in an early-stage company where the process did not exist yet
• Has run integration or implementation projects with a customer's own systems
• Has worked in a regulated or audited environment where documentation had to hold up to outside scrutiny

Benefits

• Work is remote and the schedule is flexible.
• 100% remote
