  • Facilitate regular status meetings, generate leadership updates, and maintain project documentation in compliance with company standards.
  • Gather, analyze, and document business requirements through workshops, interviews, and collaboration with subject matter experts.
  • Translate business needs into clear project deliverables and support solution design by ensuring alignment between requirements and technical execution.
  • Support user acceptance testing (UAT), maintain traceability of requirements, and contribute to post-implementation reviews and continuous improvement efforts.


What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in business, technology, engineering, or a related field.
  • 3-5 years of experience in project management, with exposure to business analysis responsibilities.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
  • Experience working in both waterfall and agile project environments.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify root causes and develop solutions within defined boundaries.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to interact across departments and with external vendors and clients.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Self-starter with the autonomy to manage large projects or processes with limited oversight.
  • Team player with strong customer service focus and ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
  • CAPM or equivalent and/or Scrum Master certification preferred (within 90 days of hire).

What We Offer
  • Competitive base salary: $71,000 - $107,000/YR, plus strong bonus potential.
  • 401(k) plan with employer match.
  • Paid parking and transportation benefits.
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits, including:
