[Hiring] Senior Project Manager @Crosslake Technologies

Role Description

Crosslake Technologies is looking for a Senior Project Manager to drive delivery and release operations across our product portfolio. You will own project plans, facilitate daily scrums, manage releases end to end, and keep cross-functional teams on track. This role serves as the day-to-day point of contact for delivery and execution across the organization. When teams have questions about timelines, release status, blockers, or what's shipping next, they come to you.

With multiple products each releasing roughly monthly, the combined volume means one or more releases per week, so the ability to stay organized, communicate clearly, and hold people accountable is critical.

You will work across Engineering, QA, Product, Finance, and an external DevOps partner. This role reports to the Director of Product, freeing their bandwidth to focus on strategic initiatives, stakeholder engagement, and product direction by taking full ownership of the operational delivery rhythm. Availability for evening and nighttime releases and participation in escalation processes is required.

Responsibilities

• Project Management & Strategic Alignment
  • Build and maintain high-level project plans with clearly defined milestones and deadlines.
  • Track progress across teams and drive accountability to keep work on schedule.
  • Keep the Director of Product informed on project status and timeline risks.
  • Support initiative and stakeholder meetings by preparing updates, surfacing open items, and tracking action items.
• Daily Scrums & Team Coordination
  • Facilitate daily stand-ups for delivery teams.
  • Ensure blockers are surfaced, owned, and resolved.
  • Help establish lightweight approaches to measuring developer productivity.
• Release Management & Partner Coordination
  • Own the release checklist from readiness through deployment.
  • Schedule and run deployment meetings with the external DevOps partner.
  • Manage release communications, including advance notice and post-release confirmation.
  • Coordinate with the DevOps partner on release schedules and configuration tasks.
  • Ensure release documentation is maintained to support compliance requirements.
  • Be available for nighttime and off-hours releases.
• Operational Discipline & Process Improvement
  • Keep project tracking tools and release artifacts clean and reliable.
  • Ensure time tracking is accurate and consistent across contributors.
  • Proactively identify where processes create friction and work to reduce it.
  • Look for opportunities to automate repetitive tasks and document workflows clearly.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in project management within a software development environment.
• At least 2 years in a senior or lead PM role.
• Able to operate independently and make day-to-day delivery decisions.
• Strong ability to build project plans, track milestones, and hold cross-functional teams to deadlines.
• Comfortable facilitating meetings across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Familiarity with release management processes, including QA gating and deployment coordination.
• Experience with project tracking and time-entry tools (Jira and Tempo experience is a plus).
• Clear written communication skills.
• Comfortable managing external partner relationships.
• A mindset oriented toward reducing friction and improving processes.
• Willingness to be available for off-hours releases and escalation support.

What success looks like

• Project plans with clear milestones are in place, and teams consistently meet their deadlines.
• The Director of Product has reliable, up-to-date project information.
• Releases follow a consistent process with minimal last-minute scrambling.
• Project data and time entries are reliable enough for finance and compliance workflows.
• Partner activities are tracked and completed on schedule.
• The team experiences less process friction over time.
