Full Job Description
This is a remote role within the United States. US work authorization is required.

This is not a traditional project management role.

It's a delivery leadership opportunity for someone who wants ownership, impact, and variety across complex software initiatives.

VIATechnik is looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead multiple, high-impact software development projects from early planning through deployment. You'll work closely with engineering teams, product leaders, and clients to turn ambiguity into execution-and execution into results.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Over your first year, success in this role means:
  • Delivering multiple software projects end-to-end-on time, on scope, and aligned to real business outcomes
  • Creating clarity where there is ambiguity, translating goals into executable plans, milestones, and priorities
  • Building trust with engineers and stakeholders through clear communication, sound judgment, and follow-through
  • Adapting quickly to change-shifting priorities, evolving requirements, new technologies-without losing momentum
  • Owning outcomes, not just managing tasks-stepping into details when needed and leading at a higher level when required
  • Improving how delivery works, introducing smarter planning, better visibility, and pragmatic process improvements
  • Leveraging modern tools, automation, and AI to improve forecasting, reporting, and decision-making across projects


Who Thrives in This Role

This role is a strong fit for someone who:
  • Has led multiple complex software development projects in fast-moving environments
  • Is comfortable operating without rigid playbooks, tailoring approach based on team, product, and context
  • Learns new domains and technologies quickly and applies that learning in real time
  • Balances strategic thinking with hands-on execution
  • Takes personal ownership for delivery results and team success
  • Values continuous improvement over process purity


Why This Is a Career Move

Top performers in this role gain:
  • Exposure to diverse clients, technologies, and problem spaces
  • Real influence over how software delivery is executed, not just tracked
  • A path toward broader delivery leadership and enterprise-level impact
  • Autonomy, trust, and the opportunity to build a reputation as a go-to delivery leader


Application Information

We'd like to hear your story. During the interview process, you'll be asked to share a short summary of a comparable accomplishment you've delivered. Think about one that is something similar in scope, complexity, or business impact to the challenges described in the job description.

Compensation and featured benefits:
  • The pay for this position is $135,000 - $150,000, and the role is eligible for bonuses. The actual salary offer may be different as we carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, location, and experience
  • Health insurance with the choice of five plan options. We cover 70-95% of premiums for VIATechies and 65% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plan chosen)
  • Dental and vision insurance. We cover up to 75% of the monthly insurance premiums for VIATechies and up to 50% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plans chosen)
  • Open and flexible time off
  • A 401(k) plan that is fully vested immediately
  • Home office setup costs
  • Paid holidays
