  • Evaluate all projects and agreements for risks and potential threats to client satisfaction, project success and Caxy profitability.
  • Maintain ownership of client relationships and contracts. Develop a comprehensive understanding of all client needs and agreements.
  • Prepare and distribute internal as well as client facing project progress reports, documentation, proposals and presentation materials.

Process Management and Improvement
  • Manage all projects in alignment with Agile and SCRUM strategies and provide organizational support frameworks as well as clear communication routes to meet all client and internal team needs on a project by project basis.
Team Support and Oversight
  • Manage and support cross-functional project teams with 3+ team members including Developers, Designers, Copywriters, QA Personnel, and Business Analysts.
  • Promote empowerment of each project team and ensure that all members are fully engaged in the project and making meaningful contributions.
  • Identify and encourage a sustainable pace for the team to maintain while delivering high quality work.
  • Support and assist with team development and individual performance assessments.
Desired Candidate Qualities
  • A passion for agile project management practices, open source values, collaboration and satisfied clients.
  • A strong dedication to teamwork centered strategies that value group success over individual accolades and personal performance metrics.
  • A genuine desire for continual learning and professional growth.
  • Strong analytical, planning, and organizational skills as well as an ability to balance competing demands and focus on multiple, varied topics at a time.
  • A creative approach to problem-solving with the ability to focus on details and break concepts down into actionable steps while always maintaining the "big picture" view. We're always looking for innovative ideas, and solutions for quandaries new and old.
  • Excellent oral and written communications skills, and an ability to easily interact with both business and IT individuals at all levels, from entry up through executive.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and an interest in mentoring, coaching, collaborating, and team building.
  • An ability to consistently, accurately and objectively evaluate complex project risks and issues.
  • An active participant in relevant communities and support networks.
Core Competencies
