Project Manager

Role Overview

We are looking for a disciplined, high-caliber Project Manager to lead end-to-end software and

content delivery projects. The ideal candidate will be a Master of Project controls—capable of

building rock-solid project plans, tracking them meticulously to closure, and protecting project

margins. You will act as the crucial bridge between our technical teams (Solutions Architects,

Tech Leads) and our global clients, requiring a strong blend of technical literacy, financial

acumen, and elite communication skills.

Key Responsibilities

Project Planning & Lifecycle Management

AI-Driven Project Management Responsibilities

• Leverage Generative AI and Copilot solutions to improve project planning, risk

identification, status reporting, backlog refinement, and stakeholder communications.

• Drive adoption of AI-powered tools to enhance team productivity, delivery predictability,

and decision-making while ensuring alignment with organizational governance policies.

• Utilize AI-assisted insights to proactively identify delivery risks, resource constraints,

dependency bottlenecks, and quality concerns.

• End-to-End Execution: Create comprehensive project plans, define critical paths,

allocate resources, and rigorously track all milestones from initiation to formal closure.

• Process Discipline: Oversee core project management governance, including strict

Change Order Request (CR) tracking, risk mitigation planning, and proactive issue

resolution.

• KPI Tracking: Establish, monitor, and report on key project health metrics (Schedule

Variance, Cost Variance, Resource Utilization, and Quality Metrics).

Financial & Delivery Models

• Fixed Price Execution: Proven experience delivering Fixed Price projects and

implementations, ensuring tight scope management to minimize scope creep while

meeting contractual obligations.

• T&M Management: Efficiently manage Time & Material (T&M) engagements, tracking

burn rates and resource forecasting.

Client Governance & Collaboration

• Client-Facing Leadership: Serve as the primary point of contact for external

stakeholders. Lead regular steering meetings, technical reviews, and project status

updates.

• Presentations & Reporting: Confidently conduct high-impact presentations for both

executive-level clients and internal leadership teams.

• Cross-Functional Synergy: Partner closely with internal Solutions Architects and

Technical Leads to understand technical constraints, dependencies, and system

architecture, translating them into clear client expectations.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Communication: Good verbal and written communication is a must. You must be

able to articulate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and write

precise project documentation.

• Core PM Competencies: Expert-level knowledge of Stakeholder Management, Risk

Management, and Change Management processes.

• Technical & Solution Literacy: Strong exposure to the Software Development Life Cycle

(SDLC). While not a coder, you must have the technical grounding to understand

architectural diagrams, API limitations, and engineering roadblocks.

• Tooling: Hands-on expertise with project scheduling and tracking tools (e.g., Jira, MS

Project, Smartsheet).

• Experience: 5+ years of core project management experience, preferably within IT

services, software implementation, or the EdTech domain.

• Education: Bachelor's degree (B.E./B.Tech preferred, or equivalent technical

background). PMP or Scrum Master certification is an added advantage.
