Elysia Battery Intelligence, formerly Zitara
San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States

Own delivery across Elysia's US BESS engineering portfolio, balancing product development, customer commitments, defects, technical debt and engineering capacity across interconnected hardware and software projects.

You will initially bring structure and control to live US projects. From around six months, the focus expands into improving the wider PM function through better processes, automation, data and AI.

What You'll Do:

- Own the US BESS engineering delivery roadmap across hardware and software.

- Manage dependencies, capacity, risks, customer commitments and technical priorities across projects.

- Set up and run projects using Jira, Confluence, Structure.Gantt and RAID processes.

- Align project plans with the wider company portfolio and identify delivery risks early.

- Build customer and portfolio reporting using Jira, Confluence, Power BI and automation.

- Embed Elysia's delivery standards across the US team.

- Work closely with engineering, product and technical leads to resolve delivery issues.

What We're Looking For:

- Experience in technical project or programme management within an engineering or technology environment.

- Experience working across hardware and software development.

- Strong project planning, governance, risk and dependency management skills.

- Become the first Technical Project Manager in the US and help build the delivery function.

- Work across battery technology, software, data and grid-scale energy infrastructure.

- Join a growing technology business backed by Fortescue.

- Have direct ownership across live US BESS projects.

- Help shape how project management works as the company scales.
