Project Manager

Specific Role:

We’re looking for a highly motivated, experienced Project Manager to drive the execution of cross-departmental initiatives defined by EMIT Technologies’ executive leadership. In this role, you’ll bring structure, visibility, and forward momentum to projects that span multiple departments. Reporting to the Director of Project Management, you’ll work both independently and collaboratively—often through influence rather than direct authority—to turn strategic priorities into successfully delivered outcomes.

Key Accountabilities:

Translate leadership priorities into clear project scopes, schedules, objectives, and execution plans

Build and maintain projects in Jira, including milestones, dependencies, resource needs, deliverables, and ownership

Secure alignment on project expectations, responsibilities, and deliverables before work begins

Drive projects to completion by monitoring progress, solving problems, and adjusting plans as needed

Identify risks early and take action before they affect project timelines or outcomes

Escalate at-risk commitments to the appropriate manager with enough lead time to secure support or reprioritize work

Coordinate resources, timelines, dependencies, and deliverables across multiple departments

Manage cross-functional handoffs and address areas where work may stall

Partner with other Project Managers to resolve shared-resource conflicts and competing priorities

Build cooperation and accountability through effective communication, collaboration, and influence

Maintain Jira as the single source of truth for project plans, progress, risks, and decisions

Provide clear and consistent project updates to executive leadership, department managers, and project teams

Tailor project communications to the needs and level of detail appropriate for each audience

Identify and implement improvements to project management methods, standards, and Jira workflows

Document effective practices and share lessons learned across projects and Project Managers

Support the continued development of EMIT’s project management capabilities and execution standards

Qualifications:

Minimum of three years of project management experience preferred, with a proven track record of leading cross-functional projects through completion

Project management experience within software development or manufacturing preferred

Experience using Jira to manage projects across traditional and agile methodologies

Demonstrated ability to coordinate and influence teams without direct authority

Strong conflict-resolution, analytical, and problem-solving skills

Ability to manage multiple priorities, dependencies, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Clear communication skills with the ability to provide effective updates to executives, managers, and project teams

Self-motivated and capable of working both independently and collaboratively

Bachelor’s degree in a business or technical field is a plus

Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or equivalent is preferred

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome candidates from all backgrounds.
