Job description
We are looking for a full-time Project Manager who can be part scrum master, part product owner, part account manager, and fully Agile to join our client-centered team. This position offers the flexibility of fully remote work. Note that you must be able to work in the United States; we do not sponsor visas at this time.
About Soliant
Soliant Consulting is a full-service, award-winning technology consulting and development company serving SMBs throughout the United States and internationally. We offer custom native web applications as well as services across the AWS, Salesforce, and Claris/FileMaker platforms. Founded in 2004, our company has been a Claris Platinum Partner for many years, became a Salesforce Partner in 2009, and achieved AWS Advanced Partner status in 2021, demonstrating our focus on helping our clients innovate and presenting an immense opportunity for growth for you.
As Trusted Advisors, we take a consultative approach in helping our clients solve problems and drive efficiency. We serve as partners to help clients anticipate the future of their businesses and build powerful digital solutions to keep them ahead of the game.
At Soliant, we cultivate a vibrant culture of smart, fun, collaborative, and interesting people working together to build technology that empowers our clients to thrive. We invest in our team members through our employee-ownership model, mentorship program, and focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We offer a fully remote work environment to all our employees, along with travel options for visiting clients and colleagues. Soliant leadership prioritizes opportunities for in-person cultural touchpoints throughout the year; our annual three-day Offsite is a team favorite. It's not surprising that for three years running, we've been recognized nationally as a Best & Brightest Company to Work For®.
People who join Soliant tend to stay with us for the long haul - we have an extremely low turnover rate of three percent, well below the industry average. Our clients love to stay with us as well; 80% of our annual revenue comes from repeat business from existing clients.
Is this you?
A good PM loves process; a great PM knows it's a means to an important end. You're detail-oriented, results-centric, and undaunted by technology (or technologists). You've internalized the iron triangle of time-scope-budget into your DNA. You're firmly convinced hyperbole should be left to job postings and never have anything to do with setting stakeholder expectations.
On the personal side, you're relaxed, comfortable with execs and interns alike, get it that writing good code can be genuinely hard to do, and always — most especially when it's bad news — tell the truth.
As a Project Manager, you will…
Champion The Process
Given your natural leadership skills and positive demeanor, you'll inspire trust and confidence in our process from kickoff to discovery, development to deployment.
Keep Clients Informed
Using your excellent written and verbal communication skills, you'll work face-to-face with sophisticated clients, keeping them informed about schedule, budget, scope changes, issues, and risks, all while measuring and maintaining a high level of client satisfaction. Your unmitigated motto in life is never, ever to surprise a client.
Manage Project Schedules
Building off best practices in project management and your experience with the software development life-cycle, you'll work with the Technical Lead and other project team members to translate effort estimates and resource allocations into project schedules, monitoring and adjusting the schedule as the project evolves.
Control Budgets
With a keen eye for detail, you'll stay on top of project budgets, anticipating any issues and heading them off at the pass before they arise.
Coach Project Teams
Meeting regularly with your project teams to review progress (using tools such as Jira and Confluence), you'll address any blockers, bring focus to project objectives, and solidify team cohesion.
Identify New Business
Fostering long-term, Trusted Advisor relationships with your clients, you'll look for ways to offer more value year-over-year.
Share Best Practices
As a collaborative team-player, you'll work alongside other Soliant Project Managers, improving the common pool of knowledge, and discovering and sharing best practices.
Grow Your Talents
Building off of your natural curiosity, you'll gain valuable exposure to a suite of rich technical tools and mature business processes, working shoulder-to-shoulder with expert cloud (Salesforce.com (http://salesforce.com/), AWS), web and database (Claris FileMaker) developers and technical leads, as well as seasoned project managers and VPs.
Expectations for a Successful Candidate
- Strong familiarity with software development lifecycle practices and agile methodologies as a project manager, business analyst, or Scrum Master.
- Experience with Confluence and Jira, or similar, and a demonstrable grasp of project management tools.
- Consulting experience a strong plus.
- Must be authorized to work in the US.
Tech Stack
Your team will focus on Claris FileMaker, a rapid application development platform. Don't worry if this isn't in your tech stack yet: just be curious about it and ready to learn.
Employee Benefits & Perks
- Excellent health, vision, and dental benefits
- Employee Assistance Program
- Remote work equipment and services stipend
- Vacation policy and a flexible work schedule that encourages personal pursuits and a healthy work-life balance
- Parental leave benefits
- Generous 401(k) employer match
- Employee stock ownership
- Encouragement of regular professional development and training
