Project Manager (5 month project)

We are seeking a proactive and technically fluent Project Manager to lead the coordination and execution of a critical integration project for a client. This short-term, high-impact role will serve as the operational and communication hub between technical, sales, and operations teams during the transition to a new registration platform.

The ideal candidate thrives in both Agile and Waterfall environments, is highly detail-oriented, and brings experience managing software development and API integration projects involving multiple internal and external stakeholders

Responsabilities

• Own the end-to-end coordination of the registration platform integration project, ensuring clarity and alignment across technical and non-technical teams.
• Lead cross-departmental tracking, gathering requirements from six different departments and translating them into actionable plans and timelines.
• Facilitate all project meetings, including direct communication with third-party vendors (e.g., MYS, Maritz), and ensure deliverables are clearly defined and met.
• Act as the main point of contact for all project tracking, status updates, and issue escalation across teams.
• Bridge communication between engineers and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring API requirements, user flows, and technical specs are clearly documented and understood.
• Own project tools and documentation in Wrike, Airtable, Microsoft Office, or similar platforms. (Experience with Jira or Asana is also relevant.)
• Drive clarity in responsibilities across departments, manage dependencies, and proactively identify potential gaps or misalignments.
• Coordinate the cutover from legacy systems, working closely with vendors and internal tech teams to ensure a clean separation and full operational continuity.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of experience as a Technical Project Manager or similar role in software development or systems integration.
• Comfortable operating in Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid project environments.
• Strong understanding of API integrations, stakeholder management, and legacy system transitions.
• Experienced in leading cross-functional teams, including operations, reporting, sales, and technical departments.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to clearly convey technical details to non-technical stakeholders.
• Highly organized and proactive — not afraid to follow up, clarify, and ping team members to drive alignment and delivery.
• Hands-on experience with Wrike, Airtable, Microsoft Office, and similar task management and collaboration tools.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with event management platforms or registration systems.
• Experience coordinating with external vendors and managing contractual deliverables.
• Background working on projects involving user experience mapping and customer purchase flows
