Introduction

We are looking for an entry-level project manager to help coordinate and drive the successful delivery of an ambitious multi-product documentation and learning platform. You will be the organizational backbone that keeps our project moving forward—working across engineering, design, product, and stakeholders to ensure we ship quality work on time, within scope, to solve our user’s problems.

Your Role And Responsibilities

You will help manage the delivery of a modern web platform that will help our users:

Learn how our products work and fit into their current workflows

Manage their deployments including problem solving, implementing new features, and scaling their current implementation
